Product Engineer • Current Employee
Pros: Benefits and pay are good despite stock price drop. It's a recession and I gotta stay for posterity :(
Coworkers are passionate, smart, and cool.
Immediate managers are easy to get along with and strong.
You work on big things that your friends use.
Cons: - Senior management is composed of literal boomers that don't care about the products that actually matter to people.
- They won't take accountability for dumb decisions they pushed.
- Dumb top-down decisions are extremely reactive to news and market movements, and there's an inability to commit to a plan for more than 4 months (????).
- There is no more room for non-metaverse innovation.
- The company has given up on the real bread-winning products except for the Facebook app, which they only care about for stonks.
- "Move fast and break things" has just resulted in everything being broken.
- You get credit for shipping something, not making it polished. Yay janky product goes brrrrrr onto the next thing.
