Low politics, mission-focused execution
Low politics, mission-focused execution
Facebook is a company that has evolved from a scrappy startup to a large, global company very successfully, due to very good management practices. It has never lost focus on engineering excellence as a key success driver. It's a great place to learn, even for industry veterans, and evolve.
Career growth is very well defined and metrics-driven, and politics are kept to a minimum. Compensation, perks, and benefits are top-notch.
Facebook still hasn't found the secret to retaining top engineering talent for the long haul.
Turnover is high, which, combined with constant internal mobility moves, leaves teams with a low level of deep expertise in the services they support.
Stay focused on the core mission of enabling people to build communities.
