> Most (not all) engineers are just hired into "Facebook", in general
That, to me, sounds like a place on the org chart. Like you have a division or a subsidiary and they have X engineers. Those engineers could be placed with more detail, but they're still inside the organization.
If you're hiring janitors aren't they still janitors even if you don't know what building they will clean?
I feel like I am totally missing the point that people are trying to make and I apologize for being obtuse.
