I loved it. Great opportunity to meet people, explore campus, learn about different parts of the company, and familiarize yourself with the various tools/technologies so that when you do join a team you don't come in completely useless. More companies of FB's size should adopt similar programs.
Many of my best friends at FB came from my time in bootcamp. A lot of us moved from elsewhere so it was a good way to make friends. I especially liked that content was presented by expert engineers and therefore up-to-date.
it's awesome
It is tough. You live in a barracks and they wake you up everyday at 6am. You then are randomly told to drop and give me a red black tree. You then have to go through an obstacle course in O(n) time. They break your will by calling you names and making you moderate abusive content as a punishment. The final act is as a group you walk through everything you have ever done or messaged on Facebook. Then Mark comes in wearing the Blue Thumb which you must kiss and pledge to make the world as open and connected as you are to the mother company.
Wtf don't scary me 😨 I'm joining soon...
It's speed dating and every nerdy engineer is suddenly hot.
Can someone tell me what this is like for non-software engineers? I heard it's shorter. Is it more just on boarding opposed to an actual boot camp? How much coding is required for then non-coding roles?
Would there be a chance that you don’t get assign to any team?
Do TPMs do the boot camp with the devs?

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
it's good as you have lots of choices. and you can be relaxed for six weeks before you work day and night.
