Lost a lot of its shine
Great benefits, great pay, and great people (depending on your team).
Very top down, tons of thrash as priorities change, and slowly started removing more and more of the things that made FB what it was.
FB used to have a culture, but now everyone is just grinding to stay employed.
Very stressful and almost no WLB, even though they will claim it's important.
A lot of management is just trying to save their own skin at this point, which I get. Most of the issues, I think, are broader than just a direct manager.
My advice would be to be a bit more transparent with your employees and acknowledge that thrash has an effect on their performance instead of blaming them.
