Pros: Best pay and benefits you can get in the UK tech sector from mid to senior IC positions.

Cons: The performance review tends to set employees against each other. Although it's not everywhere, as some teams manage to create great collectives, the status quo always degenerates into a rat race where you do not know whether your colleagues are peers or competitors. It's very toxic. There is no accountability from leadership. From mid to C-Level, they cannot figure out a proper strategy, avoid making decisions, and then blame ICs for poor performance. (Heard of the year of efficiency, increased intensity, yeah, all that.) The company is the most US-centric, which treats London like a dumpster for projects Americans do not want to do and takes away successful projects created here. The tech stack is all internal, so it can set your career back in certain domains like data and ML.

Pros: 1. Employees get to work on cutting-edge projects that influence billions of users worldwide, providing ample opportunities for growth and learning in groundbreaking fields. 2. Employees feel a strong sense of accomplishment knowing their work can have a direct impact on global communication, social interaction, and business. 3. Meta is known for offering high salaries, stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages.

Cons: 1. Work-Life Balance Challenges 2. Fast-paced environment.

Pros: Interesting projects to work on

Cons: Pressure to perform all the time.
