Good culture is fading away
Good culture is fading away
The opportunity to work on interesting and challenging problems. An intellectually stimulating environment. Great perks and shuttle rides make life more efficient. The company is in a good spot in a large market. The CEO has great vision.
The good, old "open and focusing on impact" culture is fading away. Senior-level engineers more and more often have to fight against each other for projects or reinvent the wheel for the sake of fulfilling requirements versus real technical/business needs.
Managers brought in through nepotism have little to no people management experience and skills and have had a negative impact by playing politics.
There is no clear mechanism in place to stop these viruses from spreading.
Add checks and balances to keep managers' performance in check. Employees at FB typically can easily land external opportunities (and better compensation) and don't bother to stay when running into issues, although most of the time the issues have been disguised as performance challenges or issues on the employee side.

Data Structures and algorithm coding exercise. There is no way around the coding interview. It's not a good process. They ignore any experience unless the developer is able to handle the coding interview.
