Meta can be an incredible place to work. In terms of 'perks,' they will certainly look after you: meals, healthcare, life benefits, etc. They are top-class in all those regards.
Also, compensation is fantastic, which is a big plus.
Tech teams are full of very great people, and overall, there is a really good work ethic.
The 'people' team, who manage things such as PSC/feedback season and make decisions this year about remote policies, etc., is so disjointed and seems to consider the actual employees last in the equation. There is a complete lack of transparency, and everything can change on a dime, which makes it difficult to have stability in your own life. This thus makes all the 'perks' that bit more redundant.
Also, in terms of learning and career opportunities, for those earlier in their careers, you will be learning things a very 'Meta' way. Everything will be in-house, which can make it just that bit harder to transition out of your role to a company using industry standards.
