Pros: Talented engineers everywhere. You’ll learn a lot if you survive the pace. Top-tier tools and infrastructure; technically, everything works beautifully. Compensation is excellent — they pay well for your time, sanity, and weekends. Remote flexibility (when allowed) helps offset how draining the culture can be.

Cons: Meta confuses urgency with importance. Everything’s a fire drill, even the things that don’t matter. The “move fast” mantra has turned into “move constantly.” There’s no real space for deep work or thoughtful engineering. Performance culture rewards visibility over substance — those who talk loudest get ahead, not those who build the most stable systems. Managers often act like political players instead of technical leaders. Feedback loops are shallow, and actual mentorship is rare. Genuine work-life balance doesn’t exist; burnout is normalized, not solved.

Pros: Huge salary and benefits Well-known company High-scale projects Lots of freedom

Cons: Bad WLB Chaotic, no project management. No team play, everything PSC driven.

Pros: Loads of work, no peace, only revenue generation.

Cons: Don't come to Ads or d.
