That's incorrect. You interview for a specific role, and if you fail the interview you're done. No matter the promise they'll "look for other roles for you".

It depends on the FAANG. In my experience:

Amazon hires for a specific team lead.

Google hires for a specific manager (one level higher than lead).

Facebook hires for a specific office. Boot camp is for team placement.

I don’t know about Apple or Netflix.

Of course, if you have very specific skills, you might get hired to a specific project, etc.
