Pros

The recruiting process is very smooth.

Company culture is amazing. People are willing to share, and collaboration is abundant.

Benefits are amazing too. From various health plans to other onsite benefits (at least in Menlo Park).

MPK office is incredible and unique, since it's very open and long instead of tall. Sometimes you take a bike to get to a meeting instead of an elevator.

Technical knowledge is impressive within the teams. It is a very rare occurrence when someone doesn't know what they are talking about.

Compensation is really high compared to other companies in the Bay Area.

Career path is very well defined. You can grow a lot within the company.

Cons
  • Remember that Meta is a huge company, and you are replaceable at any time.
  • Technical skills may not be transferable to other companies. This is huge.
  • Work is fast-paced. Expect to develop things fast and not become proficient in any technology, at least for the first year.
