Can anyone FB person share insights on Timeline infra team and Push Notifications team at FB. Got an offer recently and evaluating if it is worth it to pursue either of the teams.

Notifications team sounded cool but donโ€™t know what tech stack they use or what projects they are working on.

    Can you go unallocated or is the offer only for one of those specific team? Go unallocated unless you very specifically only want one team.

      I asked that to the recruiter last week and she said sheโ€™ll get back. If itโ€™s this specific team, do you have any insights on push notifications team? The recruiter mentioned I could go in allocated and pick a different team.

    Both are mature teams and you can't go wrong with either.

    I strongly recommend coming in unallocated. Right now each unallocated bootcamper is getting reach outs from 50+ teams!! (Hitting pipeline is a bit dry pushing the demand for candidates far higher than supply)

      Mature teams may have room for E6 growth, but it's easier for 0-> 1 projects/teams.

      If you are optimising for growth, chances are that a well established team will be slower, as you have less room to have big impact. This is nuanced of course, as teams may some times reinvent themselves, and the new change in direction may offer good opportunities.

      Likely the best place for growth right now is FRL pillar, since we have so much to build there and it has become the main company focus.

      Thank you all. I asked the recruiter the same and she mentioned I can come in unallocated. I plan to do the same and explore the teams while being bootcamper.

      I was more curious in terms of push notifications team given they seemed interesting but absolutely have no volume what their projects are like. So wanted to learn. Please share any insights.

      As for next step, I will get confirmation from recruiter and come in as bootcamper :)

  • Rather than ask on blind go to bootcamp and sit with 5-6 teams. There's no advantage to go pre-allocated. You will get way more data from team selection process(working with a team for a week), then a manager chat and whatever you get in this thread.
