Meta reviews

The company I joined is not the company I left. Meta is not fun to work at anymore. People are openly abused to make them leave so management can save headcount. All the layoffs and firings have created a culture of fear, backstabbing and bullying as everyone is trying to survive. Product decisions are no longer forward-looking since the only thing teams care about is whether the product manager can bring enough "impact" for the next 6 months to save their engineers from being cut. Some product managers are still traumatized, months later, after they were targeted for a performance firing and told they were worthless, while the only true reason for firing them was the mandatory headcount cuts. I couldn't deal with this toxicity and left.
