"overly positive throughout" means thats how you felt but not necessarily how interviewer felt. Usually, FB's phone screen expectation is to do 2 coding questions (yes in 35-40 mins!), written as close to compiler ready as possible.

[lemure]

by "positive" I meant that the interviewer was actually saying "good job", "optimal solution", "you're doing great", "the recruitment team will get in touch with you about next steps"

indeed there were two questions that they asked me to code, even though they didn't want to actually compile/run the code

“The recruitment team will get in touch..”

Everybody says that all the time.
