How will the Meta hiring freeze impact bootcamp?

Question

Meta is slowing down hiring, and they’re trying to focus on a few big bets across the company. As someone who is joining the company soon, how will this impact the bootcamp team selection process, and should this impact my team strategy?

Rahul Pandey · Accepted Answer

In a recessionary environment, power is moving from employee to employer (not only for things like team selection, but also areas like work-from-home and other perks) I imagine you’ll have fewer teams to pick from – you’ll be highly encouraged (or forced) to work on one of the top initiatives across the company, like the Metaverse, the IG shift to video, or ads. When there’s a hiring freeze, you should be especially careful not to join a team which has a risk of getting into maintenance mode, since career growth will be significantly harder here.
