3. Unique Management Practice:
Extended six-week boot camp onboarding with a
choice
o is a relatively simple and often one day “form
filling out” exercise
o Its approach is unique because it is extended over
an industry-leading six weeks.
o during that time, rather than watching videos and
hearing lectures, employees actually work on
teams that spend their time working on multiple
real projects

4. o to demonstrate its trust in new hires, during this
time boot campers have full access to the
complete computer code behind Facebook
o the most powerful part of the onboarding is
that at the end of the process, each employee is
asked, “Which team and project within
Facebook would you like to join?
o This is powerful because when you apply for a
job, you really have no way of knowing which
team or project would be a best fit for you

5. ITZaffect on organizational productivity
The employees are more used to the working
of the company
 since it is the employees who decide the
groups in which they need to work with it helps
in mutual understanding between them
thereby increasing the productivity

6.  Scope - Boot camp is really a very unique
program that’s incredibly effective in getting
the employees on board very quickly and
giving them an opportunity to learn
common tools and framework. Giving new
recruits a very safe way to actually do—we
think learning by doing is actually the best
way to learn anything

8. GOOGLE
 Ranked as 40 in FORTUNE 500
 The employees doesn't have access to the
complete computer code behind Google
which makes the problem of trust between
the workers
 During the bootcamp the employees doesnot work
on teams nor do they spend their time working on
multiple real projects
 Only indivdual work in give to them which leads
towards the lack of teamwork between the
employees
