Hello friends,

I am joining Facebook on Sept 28th and I still haven't received my equipment yet. I asked the onboarding team and they said that it's handled by external company and don't have any control on the shipment. Anyone joining this 28th in the same boat as I am? Curious to hear other people's experience.

Thanks in advance

    You get your equipment a day or two before your start date, via an overnight Fedex. And even if it doesn't get to you, you're still an employee from Day 1, and you get paid. 😊

      +1. That was confirmed by the onboarding team. My concern was impact of equipment delays on PM bootcamp. Apparently, it happens every 2 weeks and gets filled out fast. I chose 28th bcoz 14th was full.

      Anyway, looks like I will just wait it out.

    At Amazon I received my stuff a few days before start date. You have almost two weeks. I wouldn't be worried. They onboard tons of people regularly. I would be surprised if they were working on 2 weeks out.

      what happens if the next bootcamp date is Full?
      If someone couldn't start bootcamp due to equipment delay, do they somehow make sure they give you a slot in earliest next bootcamp even if it's full?

      E.g if someone missed their start on Jan10th due to equipment delay, and Jan24th bootcamp is full, do they still assign Jan24 BC or assign to the next open BC on Feb-7?
