Is it 8 straight hours of meetings, presentations, etc? How flexible are the hours during the boot camp? For example can I walk my dog in the middle of the morning? #meta
Many people report bootcamp is the most chill time you will have at fb.
Very intense. Prepare to sweat, to panic, to dread, to love, to hate, and to feel both pain and pleasure. Jk pretty chill
Pleasure and sweat, cool
What’s meta bootcamp?
Meta hires generalists, instead of assigning a team you get boot camp for a few months learning internal tools and then you are assigned a team
(Pick a team rather than assigned one)
Will bootcamp be in person soon? Looking to join in a few months, don't wanna do it alone at home
no, it's virtual as of now
What? It’s the most relaxed time you will have at meta. You sit at home and watch videos for a few weeks. After training is over you pretend to care about different teams while hiring managers beg for you to join.
I would regularly take naps during the day. Lots of videos and training and such, but you can do them at your own pace. Some zoom meetings with the intro presentation, new hire orientation etc. It is really 4-5hrs a day work if you consider watch training videos work. The best part is that it is flexible / and you can do it at your own pace.
Can you finish the bootcamp as early as possible, so you can focus on other tasks, I mean work not life
Very relaxed, almost completely self-guided
Do EMs also go through bootcamp?
Yes. Same as ICs with a few more videos
Very flexible, self-paced with some mandatory sessions
