Royally screwed my final interview (with the global team lead and director) at Facebook. This one got scheduled at the last minute today morning. Completely unprepared, messed up the responses, likely didn’t give them what they were looking for. Right before the interview got pulled on project call. Feeling so dejected, after clearing the last 5 rounds. So close but now so far.

If they reject you, Hail Mary and reach out to global team lead and tell him/her you had a bad interview because your team was crushed on a big meeting right before the interview. I would only do this if they reject, because it may not have been as bad as you think.

Totally do this. I was rejected for a job but had a hunch why (a misunderstanding—on their part-of my expectations). Called the recruiter back to allay the possible concerns and emphasize my excitement for the position. Got the job!

Always block off time long enough for 15 minutes before and after interview

You have to question the motives of any company with 75+% market share (Facebook/IG, google) who’s business model is advertising-driven. There will always been an incentive to track and categorize you in order to sell your info to interested advertisers

What role?

Sorry to hear that, it’s kind of tricky. Are you able to reach out to recruiter to share your experience? I have in the past and they let the interviewer know, he called me back to try again. Note- It depends on the interviewer. Let’s weigh other responses out, don’t want to advise you wrongly. Just my experience

So sorry OP 😖 can only imagine the hard work and effort put into the first five rounds! Keeping fingers crossed that it went better than you assumed it did!

I sure hope so! I am just hoping that they see some value and take that into consideration.

I had a similar experience with Facebook. The bar is high and messing one up can call you unfortunately. But you never know. Depends how you did in the other rounds. I’d reach out and hope for the best. And most importantly keep us posted how it turns out!

Unfortunately didn’t make it through the final one:(
