Pros

Free food, good pay. Some good and nice people working here. Interesting technology and problems.

Cons

The job becomes a lot about managing the PSC and competing at PSC level, and not about the job itself. It's kind of a performance meta-game, and sadly, a lot of success comes from how well you play this game, how well your position is suited to this game, and how you get others to accept your influence, solutions, tutoring, and direction.

It also depends a lot on how well your manager pitches for you and your team.

Lastly, how good do you feel working for Zuck and Meta? Is it improving the world?

Maybe you can decide on the Pros or Cons bucket for this one.

Advice to Management

Work on the culture.

Focus on long-term value and career growth.
