Q: for FAANG recruiters, do candidates get a reject stamp after failing even at the later stages?
I advanced to the last stage at Facebook (Meta) around a year ago but failed on my last interview, a combination of not being familiar with the process and not having chemistry with the interviewer.
A friend who is a hiring manager recently recommended me and this time without even a HR call I received a straight up thanks but no thanks email.
Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?
Hello! Question for anyone that works at Google if I have hit my 3 applications per 90 days can I still apply to an additional role through a referral link? Or will I have to wait until the 90 days is up? Actually asking for a friend that doesn’t have this app 😊 thanks in advance for any insight.

I feel chess might be fine because pause during terms. I play mobile games(not chess to be clear) at my desk. It doesn’t require constant attention, I’m just grinding. But I would be uncomfortable if someone saw me doing this.
A lot has to do with the amount of attention it takes away from work. Music, and even podcasts are a lot easier to multitask with than watching a movie. I am assuming you do mean using headphones, correct?
When it impacts anyone's ability to get their work done. That's the line. If playing chess helps them mentally regroup between focus sessions and doesn't bother anyone else, I see no problem with it. Then again, I'm not a manager.
Wait. Your co workers are listening to music, podcasts, or videos without headphones? That is crazy. If you can’t police the ambient audio environment, I recommend noise cancelling earbuds or headphones.
On the other hand - If they are using headphones and they are fulfilling their work responsibilities, maybe just let them be. We all work in our own cocoons.
