Meta reviews

if you disagree with the management, you get fired. Worst culture of fear, intimidation and lies. No checks and balances and HR is completely powerless

- While compensation is rewarded, leveling up and moving into new roles is very very challenging - Can feel like Facebook values outside hires more than inside talent already there - Many people do not get hired for roles in different departments or functions simply because they didn't do well on an interview, when they are more than qualified based on previous work experience at the company -- which isn't taken into account for hiring decisions. They weight internal/external folks the same. - work life balance is not great, but you don't come to facebook to "Cruise" if you do, you will be fired quickly - Newer PMs from other companies seem to be infiltrating a "CEO" role in their job -- which is not how Facebook operates. Collaboration > dictatorship of features and product. - The product specialist role specifically is challenging to stay in for longer than a few years -- the bar for performance gets higher, but you have the same "quiver" of tactics and tools and can only reinvent the wheel so much. - Many teams don't understand your role or respect it much, which is problematic because a lot of your impact comes from your ability to push changes and improvements through EMs, PMs and other product focused teams.
