Meta Work Experiences
3.0
Good pay and benefits, but work-life balance can get skewed
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
December 3, 2022
Pros: - Good internal tooling
- Flexibility in moving teams
- Career growth if you're straight out of college
- You get to work with smart folks
Cons: WLB can get skewed due to PSC/Performance culture. Engineering culture can get a bit political, where you find yourself doing more alignment, signal boosting, etc. vs. doing actual engineering (but this is team/org dependent as well).
5.0
Nice place to work out
Software Engineer • Current Employee
September 29, 2021
Pros: Not too busy, got a return offer.
Cons: Remote internship meant not a lot of team bonding.
5.0
Work on fun products that people use all the time
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
November 13, 2012
Pros: Fun coworkers, interesting problems, make a huge impact on the world.
Scale, great benefits, opportunity to change the world and really have fun doing it.
Seriously, do you want to work at a company where you don't know what you'll work on? That's insane! Facebook lets you choose what you work on after you get out of bootcamp.
People are really smart, fun, and energetic here.
Cons: Too many food options.
