The recruiter, and the everyone involved in setting up the phone interview was great. The interviewer was nice as well ... but I was kind of misled.
I was asked two questions, I got through the first one quickly, and then was asked a second. I realized I was going about the solution wrong, and figured out the best way to do it with 5 minutes left and described it, and he agreed that that was the best solution. I told the interviewer I could probably code the correct solution in the 5 minutes I had left, but he said we can just chat about what working at FB is like, and that since this is just the first phone screen I don't have to code the correct solution he's happy that I figured it out.
A day later the recruiter told me I didn't get past the first phone screen .. Then why didn't the interviewer just let me finish...

The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
