Got an offer recently from Facebook. As part of onboarding I need to select the equipment like laptop and mobile (I guess). I will be opting for a MBP 15" as my laptop. Confused on the mobile selection. Does Facebook offer choice among Android phones? Can I choose a Pixel 2 instead of a Galaxy? Or I can just say Android and they will provide whatever is in stock?
You can only choose from the choices. For iOS, they only gave 8 not X.
I got the X
How?
Pick a beefy laptop because you're probably going to be compiling all your code on it
Why? All compilation is on dev servers
Totally depends on the team, or did when I was there ~2 ½ years ago. WWW (hack/PHP) was on the dev servers and pretty much impossible to so anything with except remotely but C++ for infra was subpar when worked on remotely and Java pretty much impossible to work on except locally. Plus mobile is (or was) pretty much 100% local.
You only have like 1 choice for laptop. It’s the 2015 MBP.
I chose a 13" one because I thought I'd have a workstation, but it was awful and I upgraded to 15" 2016

You can get any phone and any laptop configuration you want.
As long you have a business reason to ask for it. I was denied the iPhone X because of no business reason
You don’t need any biz reason. As long as your bootcamp mentor goes to the request task and says “approved “, you are good.
Joined this week . Can choose between pixel2 and S9
Thanks for the inputs!!! The options were Pixel2XL, S9 and iPhone 8. And I selected Pixel2XL. :)
