Facebook hiring freeze in Seattle?

Aug 6, 2018 16 Comments

Heard from a recruiter that they are only looking for senior developers at this moment, and his definitions for senior is Microsoft 65+

Is this the case or I just got a polite rejection? I am lv62

    Was told hiring freeze as well for DS. Only accepting Menlo Park at the moment it seems.

  • Might be, the recruiter I was working with to set up phone screen just scheduled a call with me. I fully expect him to say hiring freeze as well. I guess they don't have budget now after the stock dip. Tough luck!

    If that's the case, let this recruiter who keeps bugging me know.

    Meh, can’t pass a phone screen there anymore, apparently, so it doesn’t matter to me.

    Only time I’ve ever been pissed off by a phone screen. Told them I never want to hear from them again. Had 2 other phone screens that week that went about the same and I’ve got onsite for both. Don’t know what FB is thinking with their shit.

      I did an onsite and failed. Okay, fine. Did a phone screen, didn’t prepare and it didn’t go well. That’s fine.

      Did a phone screen a couple weeks ago. Felt like it went quite well. Got told no. I do not believe I deserved to fail and as a result I’m not longer willing to bother with Facebook.i think it’s a pretty big flaw in your interview process that the phone screen person has a veto like this.

      If I saw the feedback and the interviewer actually had something valid to say then I’d try again. I really don’t think that’s the case.
