I am a big fan of meta company and I am doing work hard to get a job on future in meta company I am at 2nd semester student of computer science but have a craze to get a job earlier if you will see me review plz comment and share your thought
When i work at home, in the pause of coffe always i watch this type of videos, is soo relaxing
It's so chill. Kudos!
Ambiente maravilhoso ❤
Amazing vlog, Calvin! Thanks for sharing!
Cheers from Brazil!
The office looks so nice!! Happy hour sounds fun too
Thank you! I think the Google office (at least the one that I've been to) is nicer haha
Brother my fb account was hacked please can help me
Great and aesthetic vid as usual man 💪🏻 really enjoyed the fact that colleagues are filming you, definitely brings a different dynamic to the vid! 😄
The sound of your keyboard is like heaven to my ears
awesome routine!
Fantastic bro, all the best.
Thank you 🙏
7 hours of walking, eating and chilling and 1 hour of coding. Well done bro 🎉
haha , true
this is how top mnc companys like google and meta wasting there money.
ayyy love zenitsu's sticker on your laptop!!!
That zenitsu sticker on your laptop is cool!! 😍
Thank you! ⚡
Thanks for sharing
Nice to see you again, but now with a new google pixel that does not create black lines in b/w the video as it used to before. Goodspeed!
Cool Video😎👍
Another one! 😊❤🎉
Liked and subscribed! Thank you for the great video Calvin!
Thank you for watching!
This is the life I want.
Cool keyboard ⌨️
Great video, that would be nice to do a resume video too, about the good tips and tricks..
Thanks! Maybe I'll squeeze that into the career talk series at some point.
2:45 you were like:"wtf is this man":))) that was so funny
Haha glad you liked it 😆
Does the company provide you housing facility for employees?what are the other benefits you get from the company?
For some reason softwae engineers, coders etc has the nicest looking vlogs! Can I ask about your keyboard? I'm new to mechanic ones and I'm curious what type yours is?
Thank you! I have a link in the description that has all of my office gear so please check that out 😁
@@calvinxli Thank ou! I now saw the product list is in a second tab :D Lovely with a list like this!
Hey bro love your videos! I want to ask which macbook pro you use, 14" or 16"? I'm a computer science student and currently using a 15.6" windows machine and i'm considering 16" macbook pro, is it okay to work portable with that? I'm thinking yes but some of my friends trying to convience me not.
Hi! 16" MBP is usually the standard for software engineers. I think it's portable and big enough to get some work done. I'm the most productive with dual monitors, however. I hope that helps and thanks for watching 😊
Muito Bom!!
I’d value knowing more about meta performance evaluations, the different axis (the renamed people, etc) and how evidence the different aspects. 😊
Great video, man.
Like that bit of ASMR part at 3:39 haha)
Can you tell what keyboard are you using and witch switches?
Thank you! I have my gear listed on my website at www.calvinxli.com/
I believe the switches are Gateron Pro Brown (which came with the keyboard)
@@calvinxli Thanks ;)
Great video. Where did you get that pant/jean drawer organizer?
Thanks! I got it from Amazon: amzn.to/3PSg7jb (affiliate link)
I’m curious, are you applying agile development when working on the task tho? Cuz we are also using that as student-developers 😅
Yeah I would say that we are doing agile development. We have 2-week sprints with 2 stand-ups per week. Sprint planning before the start of a sprint.
Fun video, thanks for sharing. May I ask, what languages are you coding in at work?
Thanks for watching! I use Hack/PHP and Python currently.
Omg 3pm day off
Didn't see the light bar you're using on your wall on the office gear list. Which one is it?
I just updated the list! Try checking it again 🙂
How many hours do you usually work in average? Would like to know to compare with south america
The amazing thing is that everyone uses the same herman miller aeron chair...
Can't argue with comfort
Thanks
Whoa whoa whoa. Can we just talk for a second about how you store your jeans in a drawer? What organizer are you using and where do I get it?
Haha I use this amzn.to/3PNhbF2 (affiliate link)
@@calvinxli nice, thanks!!
I’ve seen a few videos like these, programmers and such at these big companies. My question is, what’s with the late start to the day? Is that a super common thing among young people in tech?
Most younger tech people I know are not really morning people
Agreed most prefer a couple hours in the morning to chill instead of having to wake up at freaking 5 AM and then battle traffic.
@@TXNitroFordThere's something in the middle btw lol
So most people in Meta still work from home now？I like the env your walk around，nice video man!
We're on a hybrid schedule. There's typically less people coming in on Fridays. And thank you!
Nice calvin , btw is apple office is near ur meta office ?
Yup
heola impacc, queria preguntarte que lenguaje de programacion deberia aprender? por los momentos estoy con javascript y me gusta. saludos bro
When it comes to programming languages I only learn what's needed. What's needed depends on what you want to do, however. And unless it's something that you can't use JS for, I would just keep using JS. I plan to make a video around this topic in the future.
What switches are you using? They sound smoooooth
Gateron Pro Brown but the keyboard itself contributes a lot to the sound (like the brass plate). It's listed on my website if you wanna check it out 😁
Odd question. Where did you buy the shoe storage unit at your front door?
Haha not an odd question at all! I got it through Amazon at amzn.to/4bD31PF (affiliate link)
But I will warn you that the assembly can pretty difficult
@@calvinxli thanks!
How many hours you should work per day? It seems like you worked for 3/4 hours, no?
im not a smart student but i do get above avrage grades so as a freshman do you think if i start now learning to code i can be fit to get a job after collage?
You never know unless you try. I didn't learn to code until college. It really depends on how much you want/like it.
@@calvinxli thanks
Did you keep with it?
Where did you get the brownish jacket/coat?
Uniqlo :)
Hey! Is it okay to ask another question? XD May I ask if how you handle such multiple tasks as a software engineer? like coding, meeting with your colleagues, etc.
Hm not really sure how to answer this but with meetings they get scheduled and put on my calendar
Oh okay simple as that. Thanks!
it baffles me that there are these huge offices and in this video I only saw like 15 people there
There's less people around on Fridays and I try to avoid recording other people in general 😌
i'm curious about the keyboard u used, can u give me more information about it?
You can find my keyboards listed in the gear section of my website! www.calvinxli.com
❤
That's an awesome video bro.. You look very young, how old are you bro?
I'm 30 😌
What software do you use to edit your videos man?
Davinci Resolve
is the keyboard silent with silent switches?
You mean if you're to replace the switches? I have no idea. But the current switches are Gateron Pro Brown (there's a link in the description).
How much entry level software engineer total compensation. In seattle office
What is the name of the product that you have applied in your hair in the morning?
I have it in the gear section of my website! www.calvinxli.com
I don’t see it in the website
Hey! New subscriber here! I'm also a software engineer. May I ask if it's okay. What morning routine did you do? like hygiene
Hi! I just wash my face with water, apply toner and moisturizer followed by sunscreen. I hope that helps!
@@calvinxli Oh okay. Thanks! Can't wait for your next videos!
You so cool for chill, thank you
Kitchen tour
are you allowed to use only windows machines?
I'm using a MacBook 😳
Wow
😎😎 💙💙💙
what brand are your white shoes?? they are fire
They're the Koio Capri sneakers!
okay thanks! @@calvinxli
11:23 can you tell the shower brand, very modern and i like it
It's from Mission8. I've been having some issues with water coming out at an angle from some of the holes. I think it needs to be cleaned but I can't open it :(
Otherwise it's a pretty good shower head
This was a food tour 😂
No matter how good office looks and facilities it provides, but truth is these are tactics by giants to make you spend more time in office.
Remote work is actually future of work.
Great amenities certainly help with getting people into the office.
@@calvinxli whereas remote work allows diversity plus people work who are in remote areas, company will have more reach.
@@nakulkumar9415 Mate your heads still in 2020 time to get out of it. Remote work was successful yet majority of businesses still want you in the office and thats just how it is and will be forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and everrrr
Hey,what is the name of the brown winter jacket?
It's just a jacket I got from Uniqlo. I don't know the name if it has any.
@@calvinxliThanks Lad
@2:02 Is the food free there ?
Yes
what brand and type of laptop are you using?
It's a MacBook Pro
which spray you used at 0:58 . Tks
It's the living proof flex hairspray!
Quick question to you, are you on E4 or E5 in Meta?
see how much empty the office is. Mean that most of engineer and software going remote at home. I think its more effective for the time
We're required to be in the office 3 days a week now 😬
Dorama diferente esse
hey brother, Is this all food you eat is free of cost?
Yes food at work is free
As much as I love working from home and having a pretty horrible place to work at the office 😂😂 it's kinda sad to see yours so empty and dead, it reminds me covid times where everything was a desert
We're consolidating offices so the offices are going to be more lively from now on but that also means I probably won't be filming much in the office going forward. Also Friday is a pretty common WFH day for people.
What's that you've put on your face in the morning?
I have my skincare stuff listed on my website at www.calvinxli.com
oh damn, thank you@@calvinxli
Is there really chill day in a cooperate Company, at Facebook?
I am not from facebook but In my experience, it's not like that.
I always see you in the building! Its nice video hope you talk to me one day.
What's sprint planning?
It's where we plan out our work for the new sprint. Our sprints are 2 weeks long
It'd be fun to work here ngl. I would enjoy the food. Is it free? My place of work is expensive to eat at so I've begun brining in my own food.
Yes the food is free :)
@@calvinxli Wonderful!
is that a Q1 on your desk
It's not but I have it listed on my website :)
this is the first time , i have ever seen a handsome dev like you bro :) I think you are Korean ?
Thank you, I'm Chinese ☺️
where did u get ur jacket
Uniqlo
performance review: is there any forms?
Kind of, it's mostly free-form writing
@@calvinxli Thank you. We have done a course Introduction to Human Resources Management. We have chosen Meta as a case study. We knew that Meta employed 360-degree review, but we were required to create an appraisal form. We have been struggling with this terrible form for many days :>> LOL.
Anyway, we appreciate videos like yours a lot because we can imagine what a job looks like. Thanks to your video, we received positive feedback from our lecturer.
sir wow i loved it.
now can you tell me what's your package Sir id you don't mind me asking.
what is your laptop?
I'm using a MacBook M2 Max now
hippa
😙😙😙😇😇😇
Hi Calvin! I really enjoyed your video, but I wanted to let you know that someone unexpectedly altered the message you intended to convey in your vlog on the internet. You mentioned in the video that it was Friday, so there were fewer meetings and tasks, but this individual added their own narration, misinterpreting it as you leading a relaxed life as a Meta intern every day, indulging in food and drink. They even shortened the parts of the video where you were working and claimed you were dissatisfied with your quitting time that day (however, they did compliment you, saying you're good looking). Fortunately, a kind person posted the link to your original video in the comments, and that's when I realized your content had been misinterpreted😥😥
Hi! Thanks for watching and informing me. A couple of my friends have mentioned similar instances on Facebook and WeChat. I'm not sure if there's really anything I can do about it though 🥲.
💯💯💯 🇱🇱
The yellow sign on the door at 8:22 says "EVERLASTING GOBSTOPPER," I just know it.
That is what it says 😌
What does that have to do with IT?@@calvinxli
hey , can I recover my account by visiting office??
Uh... Probably not?
Which branch of Meta are you in? ❤
What do you mean by branch? Location-wise I'm in Seattle
wash face only?
all the food is for free?
All the food is for work
I want to learn python so anyone suggest best CZcams channel to learn
Why you use android phone impacc
It's just what I'm used to and I like the UI and photo quality (on the Pixel) but I'm tempted by the iPhone for the video quality 😩
@@calvinxli hard to choice huh? Even you are engineer? Haha
why does office look vacant ?
A lot of people don't come in on Fridays.
Ooh ya'll don't bath in the morning after waking up?
I'm a night showerer
But where are people in Meta Office? So few people...
People tend to work from home on Fridays. Also this particular office isn't fully occupied
