Buried in this tweet by Gergely Orosz is an interesting quote: “Team matching was very frustrating for hiring managers.” Briefly, team matching is the process where hiring an employee is separated from the decision of which team the new employee will join. Back when I was a wee engineer, I was always interviewed & approved by the team I was to join. When I got to Facebook in 2011 I was surprised to find that 1) I would be hired without having a team assigned and 2) I had significant control over which team I would join.
