Pros

Meta pays top dollar among FAANG companies and is a great place to work with really good benefits. The dev environment is really good and internal tools help me work faster. Growth here is crazy. You can get promoted from E3 to E5 in 2 years. Mark has a company-wide Q&A every week.

Cons

The new privacy improvements have slowed engineering down, and constant exaggerated scandals cause my income to fluctuate due to stock price fluctuations. There’s a lot of "woke-ism" as is typical for FAANG, and I feel it overshadows product development. However, I do see the long-term communal benefits of investing in these initiatives.

There is no official pressure to perform, but there is peer pressure.

Advice to Management

Focus more on building stable products, albeit delayed, instead of shipping bug-ridden products early.
