Meta reviews

The Recruiting org was scaled up substantially just to be laid off within one year. Now months after those layoffs, new recruiters are being added as contractors. This speaks to the very poor talent planning, succession planning, workforce planning, and commitment to the employee experience.

Leadership is chaotically unaware of what to do to save the company. They know how to appease stakeholders, temporarily. Time and money is egregiously wasted. Many important leaders exited the company in early 2022. Post-layoffs, it is clear Meta is dedicated to not only keeping, but rewarding bottleneck pseudo-managers. They do zero work, but are exquisitely skilled in manipulating their way into off-cycle promotions during tough times, strictly on the basis of hot air and brilliantly fabricated performance data. Allergic to the courage of decision-making, it is nauseatingly clear in every interaction that they lack a basic, fundamental understanding of what is actually happening. As such, Meta has become an insufferably uninteresting place to work.
