Been waiting anxiously for a call back from Facebook for a week. The recruiter just called me and told me I had incredible feedback from everyone except for one interviewer, an ex PwC manager, but her feedback was enough to cause them to not give me the offer. During our interview she was openly condescending and hostile from the very beginning and I never had a chance to prove myself. WHAT IS IT with ex consultants putting up so many barriers to people that were in the same shoes they were?!?!?

The ex-consultant doesn’t want you coming in and blowing up their spot since they have spent so much time spouting BS to make themselves look good. They see you as a threat to their house of cards.

Sorry you had to experience such harshness! Just remember that karma is a bi***

Sounds horrible, OP. I can honestly say that I always like/am excited to guide others through the path that I’ve already taken. I see it as an opportunity to pay it forward. Not really sure why the ex-PwC M did you like that. If anything, that should’ve been the one to vouch for you. Seem like some internal complex issues.

If I were you I’d give that feedback to the HR person who you’ve been in contact with. Not a good look for FB - can frame it along the lines of feeling uncomfortable, an unexpected interview etc...

I’m sorry to hear that OP. I’m sure there are better things ahead for you. Try to find another referral especially if that person is an asshole

It wasn’t a referral, it was one of the final interviews that was conducted by someone who used to be in consulting. I appreciate the sentiment!

Sounds like they were threatened by you, or perhaps just not a good person.

Disappointing... but better than joining and having drama with this individual.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job.

Do I just make something else up entirely?
