Transparent Growth, Challenging Code
Transparent Growth, Challenging Code
The job expectations and promotion progress feel very transparent at Facebook, and I feel that my manager has my best interests in mind. I receive plenty of help from senior engineers and feel that I am progressing well as a programmer.
My team also agrees to work 40-hour weeks, which is not what I was expecting before coming here (excluding on-call).
I work on a ton of refactoring, so having to understand undocumented and poorly written code can be a pain.
When I am on call, I can be paged to fix the production service after work hours, though I haven't been paged while sleeping yet.
