Recruiter reached out and scheduled a call. During this call, she did nothing but tell me how I was unfit for the position. I have no idea why she even called at this point. Facebook doesn't seem to be doing well and their recruiters act by far the worst out of those I've seen. Beware...something is wrong in this organization.
The overall experience was a positive and a well planned one. It comprised of 3 interviews with two involving coding, and the third one involving both behavioral and coding.
