Meta Work Experiences
3.0
Aggressive PSC culture, perks are being cut left and right
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
April 11, 2023
Pros: High salary + RSU
Sometimes interesting projects
Bottom-up culture
Cons: Every 1:1 with my manager is talking about PSC (the performance cycle) and how to optimize it. Very little time is actually spent talking about how to improve the product we work on.
Inconsistent and poor leadership—changes to how things are run constantly, based on seemingly nothing.
As of November, we seem to lose at least 1-2 perks a week.
Little to no mentorship.
Bottom-up culture forces ICs to come up with projects.
