Pros

The pay is decent. They say “top of market”, but that’s only true of SWE positions.

Cons

Where do I start? - Worst hiring practices I’ve seen in my 15 year career. - Leadership doesn’t talk about uncomfortable truths. - Sociopathic need to get everyone back into the office. Ironic for a supposed metaverse company. - Very top down management. - Constantly changing goals. - The worst leaders hire clones of themselves. - Poor diversity. - Inability to execute on large scale projects. - Not living our own values. “Take the long view” is often ignored when discussing large engineering efforts.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
