Hi Folks I have accepted Meta offer 5 weeks ago and the HireRight verification is done and they shared the report with me as well, but still the prehire checklist shows "background check" is in progress. And also recently I have received a box with two pairs of Meta socks with a Welcome message. Did any Meta new hires in the same boat? Metamates please help me understand the situation, is this related to speculated hiring freeze or is it related to any backlog. #Meta #NewHire #backgroundcheck #swe #softwareengineer Level - E5 TC - 220/900k/100k/15%
For the TC break down is it 220 is base , 900k is RSU, and 100k is sign on bonus or target bonus?
100k can’t be target bonus
I was just curious so when ppl pay their blind tax that 3rd number is usually sign on?
For me, I inquired through hirerights help chat and they let me know their end of the background check completed a day or two before the career portal reflected that. Then maybe a day later the green check showed and it stated that meta reviewed and approved it.
When is your joining date? When did you get the green check mark? I have already received full report from HireRight a couple of weeks ago.
My start date is at the end of May. I’ve heard that they prioritize based on start date.
Same here, there was a 6 week delay between the hireright clearance and the meta career website green tick update. It could be due to the backlog size, but most importantly your start date: it should happen within 2months of your start date (mine finally cleared mid April for a June 13th start). Your recruiter is the best person to ask, don’t hesitate to reach out to them if you feel something is wrong.
Already asked recruiter, they said they don't have permissions to look into the internal status. But they reached out to background check group internally though.
Question for the 900k in RSUs how many years is that given out over ? 4 ?
Yes 4yrs. It is quite common.
Does it also require someone to give reference?
Fuck me sideways for canceling meta interview and taking apple offer. You got 300 more in Rsu, and I could’ve gotten e6 — failed interview year ago low e6 high e5 no offer. Market is crazy hot
When do they ship out the socks normally? My start date is a few months later.
My start date is in less than two weeks and no socks. I’m assuming it’ll come a business day or two before my start date
This is what I call the top of the band.
How far away is your start date?

PM is irrelevant role and will die in next 2-3 years.
Probably because system didn’t sync. I wouldn’t worry about it
