Popular Post Magness Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Just wanted to let you guys know that I’m moving over to Facebook and will be doing video work there. It’s not public knowledge yet but, I wanted to tell someone 😊 because I’m excited and looking forward to it. I’m also a little bit nervous as it’s a pretty massive environment and some custom apps and code that I’ll have to learn, should be fun though NickC, JTello, Camp and 13 others 6 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magness Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thanks. And yes, working remotely with the occasional visit to the campus in London. The job itself is similar to the what I do now but, I do several customer estates today and this will be Facebook only. It’s also a much larger environment overall and I’ll be doing the infrastructure management of the video estate for EMEA so should be pretty cool. And who knows, maybe I’ll get a discount on Quest headsets 😎 Angry the Clown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, Dave! That'd be their Rathbone Square campus presumably? That's a nice little hidden area of the West End. Magness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magness Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Thanks. I was told they have 6 now around London so not sure which ones I’ll be popping in to but will be cool to have a look around. Angry the Clown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Magness Posted June 29, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Just thought I’d update this thread with my impressions after my 1st month at FB: The work environment itself is pretty cool, everyone just gets on with their work, they’ve been helpful getting me up to speed but, not over the top with the hand-holding and just let me get on with my work which has been really nice. Plus there are a lot of great internal tools to use for virtually anything It may be a weird thing to point out but, they are remarkably modern when it comes to work equipment; like getting a new set of headphones or a mouse from a vending machine with your badge. This was more amazing to me than it probably warrants but, after years of having to submit business cases and go through procurement processes for every bit of kit I needed this was a revelation 😊 The video stuff (without getting into too much detail) in particular is quite clever in a lot of ways and scales really well but, other aspects are surprisingly simplistic. And yes, I have ordered a new VR headset to test against for video stuff (what? Gaming?!?) so yay but, unfortunately they are back ordered for internal use so it looks like it’ll be another month before I get it I was in my first work chat with John Carmack and I was proper geeking out. It was on VR stuff and support integrating them with different video conferences. I was just an attendee and he only chimed in on technical stuff about latency, we didn’t say anything to each other - nothing like that but still awesome AlbertA, Robot Monkey, Dimness and 7 others 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love love love them. Chains, gel paks, lube, patch kits, even brake pads. Magness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 At my job people are impressed that we had (not since Covid though) a salad and sandwich bar, snacks and a few arcade games. Magness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still at the fighting for just about every resource point, although the last batch of laptops we ended up with are pretty sweet.
