Great place to work if you like a fast-paced environment
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
May 1, 2023
Pros: Had some of my best engineering accomplishments at Meta. Get to work on products that have high impact. If you are someone who enjoys working in fast-paced environments, this is the place for you to be. There's lots of empathy in the employees and managers around in different orgs.
Cons: The review cycle is a nightmare and makes it into a very competitive and stressful environment. The whole layoff debacle really added a lot of stress to people and was handled poorly by leads.
