Good engineers, bad management
Good engineers, bad management
- Most engineers are above average.
- The London office is new and has a good canteen and micro-kitchens.
Most managers are not very technical and keep moving around between teams. There is a big focus on impact and moving fast, with almost no concern for quality. There is a "Don't do it if you can't add it to your performance review" mentality. The London Office location is far from public transport.
Advice to new starters:
If you are joining Meta, try to join in the second half of the year, to have a bigger chance on your first performance review.
