Pros

My team is humble, supportive, and hard-working. Everyone I work with is at the top of their field (design, user research, product, engineering) and are also genuinely amazing human beings. Meta continuously supports me as a people manager with high autonomy, training, tools, and leadership opportunities. This means I'm always doing my best work and growing in my career.

Leadership is extremely transparent about goals and challenges. Even amid layoffs, communication is frequent, direct, and gets right to the heart of difficult topics.

Cons

Bottoms-up decision-making sometimes makes goals fuzzy and can lead to duplication of efforts in separate orgs. You need a high tolerance for ambiguity to thrive at Meta. Public opinion of Meta is often unbalanced, with lots of uninformed opinions.

Advice to Management

Continue to focus on the long-term, and we'll be fine.
