Pros

excellent comp and fantastic employee perks, teammates are supportive and in the weeds together, fun on sites, growth potential and tons to learn.

Cons

they grind you down hard, reality labs is a really toxic group with cutthroat mentality (miss one thing on your perf review - you’re out or on watch). half my team was fired. i saw countless teammates let go. one after the other. it’s like a blood bath. nobody is happy. when i left i got so many long sighs and please take me with you. makes me sad because the culture seven years ago was so beautiful, like a big family.

Pros

Snacks are free and the checks clear. Good stepping stone.

Cons

The right wing political kowtowing from the CEO has led to incredible dismay and a completely regressive mission.

High pay for high stress

Pros

- High pay. Top of the market. Very few places pay this well. Stock run-up made a lot of folks rich. - Free food and snacks. Food is pretty good. Benefits and perks still really good despite some cuts - Nice fitness centers at larger offices - Core business is still very strong. FB and IG print money - Chance to work on cool tech and/or products used by billions

Cons

- Obsession over performance review (PSC). Pays to focus on what looks good on PSC rather than doing the right thing - 15% or higher below expectations quota + transition away from high headcount growth means people get thrown under the bus even if they fulfilled their level expectations. People are incentivized to compete with each other and claim credit - days of fast growth and promo are done - small layoffs here and there after the big layoffs. - questionable leadership over the last few years, and nepotism runs supreme. Overhire -> big layoffs -> now hiring a lot in areas again. Cut spending by cutting benefits and layoffs, but then throws more money into Reality Labs. The culture that made Facebook a top place to work is gone. Meta is more like Amazon but with better pay and perks
