How is the Portal Team at FB

Got an offer from the Portal Team at FB which makes the video calling appliance. I was curious about how they are currently viewed within FB given they came from B8 and if its worth moving there in case they get disbanded since the first device didnt get good reviews? The people seemed nice enough, a mix of all levels of experience. I have other interviews in the pipeline both FAANG and non-FAANG but none of them have reached offer stage yet. Hence, the dilemma. Offer TC: $695 Current TC: $622

I thought the first device was well received? I interviewed with that team recently and detected a lot of red flags. Went with another team

The first device was launched in the backdrop of FB’s privacy scandals and got widely panned based on what I read in tech blogs. What red flags did you detect if you could share?

Stress, misalignment, overwork, unclear direction.

Isn't it DOA? Why is Facebook still pumping money into it?
