Meta

High pay. Top of the market. Very few places pay this well. The stock run-up made a lot of folks rich.

Free food and snacks. The food is pretty good.

Benefits and perks are still really good despite some cuts.

Nice fitness centers at larger offices.

Core business is still very strong. FB and IG print money.

Chance to work on cool tech and/or products used by billions.

Obsession over performance reviews (PSC). It pays to focus on what looks good on the PSC rather than doing the right thing.

15% or higher below expectations for quota, plus a transition away from high headcount growth, means people get thrown under the bus even if they fulfilled their level expectations. People are incentivized to compete with each other and claim credit.

The days of fast growth and promotions are done.

Small layoffs here and there after the big layoffs.

Questionable leadership over the last few years, and nepotism runs supreme. Overhire leads to big layoffs, and now they are hiring a lot in areas again. They cut spending by cutting benefits and layoffs but then throw more money into Reality Labs.

The culture that made Facebook a top place to work is gone. Meta is more like Amazon but with better pay and perks.
