Facebook/Meta can for sure assign team before bootcamp. The candidate can still change teams during bootcamp, but there will be a spot ready for them. At least that is how I have seen it.
One thing to notice about FAANG and other large companies is that the team assignment is not as important as you think. Reorgs are often large and frequent so suddenly you work on something completely different. How much choice you have in this process varies based on many factors, the company being one of them.
- romanhn 5y agoFor sure, I was one of those preallocated folks. That said, bootcamp allocation is far and away the most common way people get assigned to teams. Good point in not focusing too much on it, so many people switch teams in their own every 1-2 years on their own.
