Meta Work Experiences

Great Opportunities, Amazing Benefits, Fun Perks - High Cost of Living Areas

Front End Engineer • Current Employee

Menlo Park, California, United States

Pros: Amazing benefits, perks, and work culture.

Cons: No ability to telecommute full time. Generally, offices are in expensive areas, so the high salary does not equate to a luxury lifestyle. You are making six figures, but real estate prices for an average 2-3 bedroom suburban house are in the millions, so you end up living a middle-class lifestyle.

Good Benefits, Too Woke

Front End Engineer • Current Employee

London, England, United Kingdom

Pros: Meta pays top dollar among FAANG companies and is a great place to work with really good benefits. The dev environment is really good and internal tools help me work faster. Growth here is crazy. You can get promoted from E3 to E5 in 2 years. Mark has a company-wide Q&A every week.

Cons: The new privacy improvements have slowed engineering down, and constant exaggerated scandals cause my income to fluctuate due to stock price fluctuations. There’s a lot of "woke-ism" as is typical for FAANG, and I feel it overshadows product development. However, I do see the long-term communal benefits of investing in these initiatives. There is no official pressure to perform, but there is peer pressure.
