Meta

Great benefits and compensation. Lots of different technologies to work on, with lots of opportunities for visibility and impact. It's a good place to learn and explore mobile, full stack, and backend infrastructure. A fun place to work when things are going well.

High stress, a lot of turnover. I've had a new manager every year. Some teams have a 24/7 work expectation. Highly competitive, and you are competing with lots of smart people. It seems very difficult to get a promotion, and junior people who don't rise fast enough are pushed out. For senior engineers, one bad project or not enough impact and it can be very difficult to course-correct.

Fix the fake news problem.

Recognize that incremental improvements and investment in software infrastructure pay long-term dividends and reward that. Not everything is easy to quantify in terms of impact, and a lot of work on quality goes unrewarded.
