Thoughts from perspective of individual contributors: This is an old story. Wall St. banks always have such layoff practice. Every year, same day, same time, employees stay at home and wait a call of their future fate. Sometimes it’s based off your own problems, bad performance. Sometimes, it’s merely based on a shift of company strategy. When layoff happens, the least essential business functions get cut first. Commonly speaking, this might be the order: Human Resources, Marketing, Operations, Product Management & Design, Data Science and Analytics, Software Engineering, Sales.

在Meta内部发现有几个groups是用来讨论tiktok的features, news, bugs，以及大家分享tiktok的使用体验。

Background: Unlike most tech companies that recruit candidates for specific teams, new employees at Meta need to join a bootcamp program. While finishing up many online trainings, random technical coding tasks, and setting up firmwide logistics, new employees are required to look out for new job openings from the company’s Jobs Tool similar to Linkedin’s jobs panel . Ideally, a new employee should find a team to join within 6 to 8 weeks to graduate from bootcamp.
