      Pros

      Facebook is exploring some new ground with social networking and its cool to be associated to the innovation

      Cons

      People are often not treated fairly as Ego's get big fast when a company grows so quickly. They get you in the door with the "potential" of going IPO but your in you give up your life and soul with little career growth or monetary incentives. Its no wonder that three of the four founders have already left in less than 3 years and long term employees are looking to sell their shares. No potential of any amount of 'potential' earnings once they go IPO is worth being treated like second class citizens or just a fancier sweat shop.

      Pros

      • Meta is an incredible place to gain experience, work (and network!) with people who are at the top of their fields, and grow your own skill set—IF you invest the effort and time to make it happen. • Many employees have the chance to work with people from all over the world, in an environment that encourages different perspectives. • I never thought someone like me would belong at a company like this—but I feel welcomed and encouraged, and I'm grateful to have learned so much (personally and professionally) from my coworkers. Never would've believed I'd feel this way while starting remotely during COVID, either! • Most managers at Meta really want to be managers; folks aren't promoted just because it's the next most logical step in their career. In my experience, this means most managers are supportive, want to see you succeed, and are invested in helping you grow your career, not just in furthering their own agenda. • Comp & benefits are amazing. WHY DID MY GUIDANCE COUNSELORS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE NOT TELL ME ABOUT RSUs??? That is all. • Having Meta on your resumé will open doors in a way that name dropping few other companies would. • The support Meta provided throughout COVID has been exceptional, with flexibility and leave options that have helped me deal with remote learning, childcare gaps, and more. I've repeatedly told friends how lucky I have been to have joined Meta just before the pandemic.

      Cons

      • There are high expectations. "Move fast" isn't just a value — it's a description of how we work. If you like rigid work structures and aligning to predefined goals without questioning or re-assessing them as you progress, you probably won't thrive in the Meta environment. • Because of this constant flux, it can be hard to take PTO or maintain a consistently good work/life balance. This honestly depends on your team and manager, as well as how good you are at prioritizing. (Hint: Get comfortable saying no.) • Constant press leaks continue to threaten the previously "open by default" culture, complicating some teams' jobs (as they react to announcements vs. prepare for announcements).

      What a nightmare

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay and benefits, luxurious offices and free food. That's about it.

      Cons

      Terrible middle managers that try to overwork and squeeze every last drop of blood from you. If you're a senior person, be ready for incompetent middle managers and arrogant junior ICs to act like they know better than you when they don't. Abusive, toxic culture that caused an engineer to literally jump from the building. If you're a person of color and/or female, good luck. Unless you're single, no kids and able to work 80 hrs/week, then you'll make the cut. Feels like high school and chaotic, don't believe in process.
