Got approached via LinkedIn by a recruiter. Got a recruiter call scheduled, postponed twice, then was told a candidate had already been given an offer and they wouldn't move forward with me. I got told this 10 minutes before the interview after preparing all day. Then I find out through a former colleague this process is still on and recruiting. Was never advised about this. Personally found this to be very unprofessional and wouldn't recommend.

Entrevista
The interview followed this order:
- recruiter chat
- 1 hour interview with a manager
- 4x45min interviews with members of different departments
Everyone who interviewed me seemed experienced and professional. They were knowledgeable of the localization field and asked fairly practical questions (as opposed to behavioral). The recruiters were very good at communicating and keeping me updated on the process. One thing that stood out was that all the managers that interviewed me were men (5 interviews, 5 men). Normally the localization industry has a good female representation, so this stood out as unusual to me as I expected to see a more diverse team at Facebook. In general, it was a positive experience and I got the impression it was a good team.

Some questions were the usual behavioural questions (tell me about something you are proud of, have you ever had a conflict and how did you handle it, etc.), but mostly the questions were quite practical: translation tools (describe some QA checks you can run in a particular tool), process (how would you organize an end-to-end process for translating a new language), quality (how would you check the quality of a language you don't speak), collaboration (how would you collaborate cross-functionally).
