Its a free world and last I checked its not illegal to work for FB. Trust in market forces to take it course.

We recently hired an outstanding engineer who graduated from a bootcamp and previously did not apply because we had an archaic requirement around "BS Computer Science or equivalent…

We have taken out any mention of "culture fit" which to me means more of the same. Instead, we measure culture addition. How will this person add to our culture?
