Meta

Meta offers many great perks, as with other tech companies.

Do not mistake the Singapore Data Centre for the tech giant Meta. They are totally different.

• The management in the data centre does not embody Meta's culture. The culture in the data centre is worse than in small and medium enterprises. Employees are expected to be "yes men" and not to raise any questions or even provide feedback. You will be targeted by management, and your performance appraisal will suffer.

• In the data centre, many perks given by Meta are not applicable to you if you are not a manager. Management said you are not to "take advantage of the company," so do not assume perks such as global travel days or even mileage claims for work purposes will be allowed. They will be rejected by your line manager.

• The overall culture is non-supportive and toxic, with no flexibility. You are expected to work on-site five days a week.

• The data centre hired people who are not very competent or capable. It is really puzzling; I guess the loop interview is not working.

• There is no career progress, and it is almost impossible to get promoted.

• Meta prides itself as a company that supports diversity, but the Data Centre is a strong supporter of CECA.

• Avoid at all costs unless you are a "yes man."

Snr Mgmt and HR should really look into hiring the right management team who are the right fit to the broader Meta culture.

Remove the toxic managers and implement the real Meta culture in the Data center.
