I was contacted through LinkedIn by a recruiter at Facebook. After a phone screen, the recruiter recommended that we move to the next phase and asked me to complete a written exercise that involved identifying content strategy opportunities on Facebook. About a week later I received a response from the recruiter informing me that they would not be moving forward with my candidacy. I was assured that my work wouldn't be used on Facebook. In the time since these initial communications, Facebook has just released a feature which is strikingly similar to what I had described in the exercise I submitted. Of course, this could be a total coincidence. but nonetheless, it would have been useful to get some kind of substantive feedback (or at least an interview) considering the time it took to complete this exercise.

Met with multiple people on the content team. Was then given a timed UX writing test. Did well on that and was then asked to present on my background. The recruiter was very keen the whole process and then completely ghosted me at the final stage. It was extremely unprofessional, especially since the whole process took 2-3 months and took a lot of time and energy.
