how does the internal team switch work at facebook ? does your current manager get notified ? or do you just have unofficial interview with the new manager and team and then based on that make it official to your current manager ? apple policy requires us to let our current manager know before we officially can interview for a different role. very stupid but yes exists. #facebook
For eng: no switches in the first year. Unlimited afterwards. Policy requires you to let your manager know first.
I don't know the official policy but everyone that switched always talked to their manager about it? It wasn't a big deal, fb was pretty loose about moving teams. As long as you were meeting expectations you could transfer. I think there was also a 1yr min on a team before transfer
