Pros: Awesome mentorship, feedback, really smart engineers to work with, interesting problems, and everything is super well documented at Meta.
Cons: A little too much emphasis on performance review cycles. It seems like anything anyone does is done to maximize that rating. Some teams have bad work-life balance.

Good people, bad codebase

Pros: Usually, a team consists of really nice people, so if you’re stuck or have a question, they will sincerely try and help you.
Cons: The codebase is extremely bad. Meta has its own variation of already available tools that you have to use, and that make the development experience slow and unenjoyable, with no plans to address it.
