What are bootcampers, does this just mean recent hires? Or people who came in with no specialist skills who rotate until they find a team?
- nicolashahn 4y agoRecent hires who haven't yet been allocated to a team, though they do work with teams on real tasks and produce code. Usually non-specialists, though some like ML engineers do go through bootcamp.

- brundolf 4y agoThat was my assumption too before seeing the clarification
- loeg 4y agoNot in this context.
- xdavidliu 4y agoto be fair, the non-facebook definition is way more commonly used in tech.
- ShinTakuya 4y agoI wouldn't say that. At least, I haven't talked to many FB employees and yet bootcamp was used for onboarding at two largish tech companies I worked at.
- brundolf 4y agoI've never really heard of it being used that way before now
- azemetre 4y agoFacebook has a program where a majority of new hires go through to learn about their tech stack and contribute to a variety of teams. It's also where you find a team to join. Basically a high powered onboarding program that is really good.
