Pros

The people you work with are great, which is why I am still here (although seriously looking for other jobs right now) Perks used to be great but not so much anymore

Cons

Culture is horrible right now, they are firing people left right & center. They are showing you that they dont care about employees anymore - be it through perks, through the extereme top down culture, calling it a year of intensity- you are nothing but a coding machine for them,. Perks are mostly all gone, from mediocre snacks to limited commuter benefits. Dont want to sound like a entitled employee but believe me, there are other places in the Bay area who give you more just for working for them & as a thank you. also WLB is non-existent

Survived the layoffs, but bleak times ahead

Pros

- Competitive pay package - Leading-edge technology - Genuinely great peers - Zuckerberg will do literally anything to push the stock price up

Cons

I cannot tolerate the blatant transphobia coming from Meta's leadership. Everything from the public policy change to internal content moderation and censorship shows that leadership wants to scapegoat a minority group and pretend that nothing happened. This is a hard company to work for if you have strong values, and your values don't align with whoever holds office within the US. If that's not enough: - Zuckerberg will do literally anything to push the stock price up, even at the expense of the stated values of the company and its employees. - Benefit cuts are ongoing with no sign of slowing during the company's most profitable quarter ever. Mark needs another island! - Leadership does not want your feedback. Legitimate concerns might get you a "If you don't like it, leave." directly from C-levels. - Performance cycles value short-term impact over long-term strategy. - Aggressive layoffs, employees with years of exceptional performance are being fired for a shaky half, many unaware it was coming. - Nearly half the stock value is banking on "AI" LLM models which have an uncertain future.

Pros

If you like a hedge fundy cutthroat culture, it might work for you.

Cons

If you like innovating and having job security, stay away.
