The hiring process for their AR/VR division is also different than it is for the rest of the company - even when the general rule was to hire without a specific role in mind, that was not the case at Reality Labs. But yeah, the big issue is that you can't absorb 10,000 people into the larger organisation that easily even if they were all generalists.
