Custom Tools, Poor Support
The money is very good.
Meta uses all of their own custom software tools, so:
A.) everything is broken and super difficult to use. B.) when you do manage to learn a tool, it's totally worthless information outside of Meta.

The research team has no direction whatsoever, and research leads have no idea what they're doing.
Hire some people that have actually worked on real products, instead of a bunch of fresh-out-of-university PhD types that can't manage a team or write any code for themselves.
