Facebook hiring decision ridiculous delays?

I had the onsite interview loop with Facebook weeks ago (E6 SWE). The debrief is over, the feedback was positive, and (in my understanding) we're at the HC review stage.

For over a week now the decision is being delayed day by day. Pretty much every second day I get an email from the recruiter that says something like "there were some additional questions, I'm expecting a decision tomorrow" then "tomorrow" nothing happens.

This is super annoying now. Since I'm very familiar with how FAANG hiring works this sounds like pure BS to me. I suspect this is due to the stock price crash, but do you guys have an idea what's really going on in the background?

I wouldn't even be surprised if the HC decision had long been made and finance was figuring out what to do with the low stock price.

    Are you still waiting or did you finally hear back?

    E6+ hiring is less standardized so perhaps there are more uncertainties for candidates at your level. Your candidacy is probably being debated by directors and vps. Like one question might be if you’re actually E7

    I had an E6 loop 2 weeks ago and no response. I pinged the recruiter once to give me an update and no response to that. Very unprofessional! Why not just send a standard email template for rejection?

    I am a finalist for a non-tech/partnerships role. The final round interview was on 1/29. I was told that it could take a while because they were filling multiple spots however, that was 3 weeks ago! I just got an email from my recruiter saying that they're not gonna be able to come back with a final decision until mid-to-end of next week and she's happy to chat over the phone on Tuesday. The hiring manager told me that I'm his number one pick but the experience doesn't reflect this. WTF is going on?
