2	Open, fast, no bs	It might be easy to roll your eyes when people from Facebook say how open their culture is, but it's true; it's more open than any other place I've worked at. At a company wide-level, secret projects, public incidents, important non-public business metrics and the like are all openly discussed. You can ask questions about them directly to Zuckerburg at the weekly Q&A. I think the idea is that if everyone is on the same page or at least, differing views are heard, the company will be stronger, and solutions may be offered from a place you didn't expect. This is much different from previous companies I worked at, where discussions on internal email lists would be shut down by some lawyer saying that there's certain things that can't be discussed, and important data is divided up to groups and individuals on a "need to know" basis, etc. This culture applies at a lower level too. You feel comfortable giving feedback to each other about each other, about product decisions, about management, etc. The flipside of this openness is that you of course, have to be willing to receive the feedback, you have to recognize that while openness and feedback is highly encouraged, decisions have to get made, and actions and data are more valuable than words. At the higher level, since the company trusts employees with access to so much information, keeping such info confidential from the outside world is taken seriously. It's a great place to work as an engineer. You're given a lot of freedom, but it's also a responsibility to make sure you're doing things that are valuable. You don't get much credit for working hard or being smart if you don't produce valuable output. One cool thing about Facebook, in contrast to other comparable companies (Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, though in truth, FB is much smaller), is how they have a pretty singular focus. Even with the differing areas (including advertising and such), they do a good job of keeping their eye on their mission of connecting as many people as possible. I also think they are way more empathetic to their users than most people give them credit for. It seems like popular opinion has it that FB is arrogant and only cares about its users insomuch as they represent $-signs. From within the company, it didn't feel this way at all. I saw a lot of empathy towards users, and a lot effort spent to improve or things or fix broken things with no direct financial benefit. The strategy is not complex. The thinking is that if they can make FB easier and more fun to use, then more people will use it for more time each day (which will also have a network effect of attracting even more people to use it), then the advertising dollars will follow. Of course, it is true that FB wants to make the audience more accessible to advertisers as well, but there are a lot of people at FB who care about privacy and security. They have really good infrastructure and really great ways to share the infrastructure and code. They have a lot of cool internal tools, and what they've built is really impressive, and more importantly, it helps your team build products faster without having to solve problems that someone else already solved. Every software company tries to do this, but FB seems to have been more successful with it. Perhaps it's because they're still relatively small, but if anything, I can at least say it is very cool while it lasts. The perks and work environment are great, unless you're one of those types that can't stand open office spaces. I've worked in both a private office and open offices in multiple companies. While I do think a private office has some benefits, I mostly think it's a personal luxury for the employee and a huge waste of money for the company. I'd much rather have the money go into other areas like salary, benefits, and other workplace improvements rather than the added real estate necessary to have offices. Of course, you've heard about the food and snacks. They have an amazing selection of great stuff, and what I like about it is that it sort of goes above and beyond expectations. Sure, some days, lunch is better than others, but I really can't complain, and the selection of drinks and snacks is amazing. It's not like you should work at FB just because of that, but it demonstrates FB's desire to make work as fun and convenient as possible. You'll be surrounded by people who like being there. I can't think of a better environment to work in. If you have a giant ego, you may not like it as much. Respect is definitely given to those that have deep experience in the industry, and they are expected to lead others and mentor more junior employees. However, if for whatever reason, you can't perform at the level expected, no one is going to care if you did this and that at Google or shipped ten things at MS, etc. FB also has a lot of fun events, and I made a lot of friends working there, so going to the events was fun. Also, if you're older and worried that FB is just a bunch of 22-year-olds, and that you won't fit in, I wouldn't worry about that. FB does have a lot of young employees (who are really smart btw), and it does hire a lot of people straight out of college, but it also attracts a lot of experienced engineers from other top companies like Google, MS, Amazon, etc. Work-life-balance seemed totally normal to me. It may be different depending on your team, but I felt you could do 40-50 hours of work a week for the most part and you would be totally fine. It's about what you produce, not how hard you're working. Other team members who had children would work normal hours and go home at normal times. I didn't see any of these folks have a problem when they left early to take care of their child or things like that. Of course, there could be times that people are expected to work extra if something critical happens, but for the most part everyone wants to avoid this and this happens sparingly, from what I observed. Now, there were many times where I chose to work late myself, but I never felt any pressure to do so. The caveat is that there are on-call rotations, and in addition, even if you are not on-call, you are expected to be reasonably available if the on-call person needs your help. However, again, no one wants this, and your team will work on ways to avoid these situations. The best thing I can say is that working at FB is about productivity. I didn't experience and political bs and it was a pleasure working with a group of people who were all concerned with producing a good product and making the best of the time spent while doing it.	FB expects a lot out of engineers, and you can't slack off. Of course, you shouldn't slack off at any job, but since FB is pretty fast-paced, there is a risk that you'll have trouble adjusting at first. FB has a lot of custom infrastructure and tools, and prehaps more impressively, it works great. It makes doing your job really great, but on the other hand, you'll end up learning a lot of stuff that won't be applicable elsewhere. FB's code-base is very good in some ways, but in other ways, it's not as great as some of the existing engineers think it is. I don't think this is that big of a deal, but the important part is that as an engineer, you need to quickly learn FB's values and practices and "get with the program" so to speak. If you don't like some things, then you just have to deal with it, as it's not likely you're going to change people's minds at this point. The nice thing is that things are at least very consistent.	You need to focus on how you are going to maintain the existing culture and protocols as you grow. I think this could be really tough.	5	5	5	5	0	5	5	POSITIVE	POSITIVE	APPROVE	2014-03-17T21:26:11.827	2	false	Software Development Engineer	Seattle, WA	false	true	548	Meta	40,772	3,888,834
3	Fast paced company with high expectations, but incredibly fair. You won't a place that cares more about it's people.	- Incredible benefits - Excellent compensation that rewards strong performance - Lots of autonomy - Tons of room for growth - Very transparent from the top down - Strong leadership - Intelligent and caring colleagues - The most fair and well thought out review process you will find everywhere - Exciting work	- If you don't learn to make the work life balance work for you, it can be exhausting. But you'll also be given lots of support with this if you ask for it. - It doesn't matter how good you are at your job, chances are you're going to be surrounded by a ton of other people who are just as good if not better. Imposter syndrome is real, but if you got an offer, you probably belong here too.

4	Pleasantly Surprised	I'm a 55 year old working in a company where the average age is 28, and I've never been happier. I have always wanted to work in a company where I wasn't the proverbial square peg, and after nearly 30 years in the work force, I believe that I have found the company that complements my ideology for how a company should operate. Here are the "Pros" as I see them... - Leadership: Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Chris Cox and the rest of the leadership team. Inspiring, smart and totally real. - The Culture: The openness is a real thing, we're trusted to do the right thing, mistakes are expected, being yourself is important and encouraged, humility is encouraged and expected, building trust is paramount, the mission of making the world a more open and connected place isn't just a cool phrase because it guides everything. It's not about us, it's about everyone else. - The People: Smart and nice is what I find. The diversity is better than any other company I've worked at and it's getting better. Those that are figuring out how to make what we do better for everyone are really good at implementing their ideas. Two years ago I didn't know what this company really was or if it had a secure future. I can clearly see now that they have what it takes to last, and it's sincere. - Management: Managers are hired because they're good managers and not because they're good at something else. The management track is different than the contributor track and they're equal in importance. - Benefits: Working in the Valley it's hard to differentiate all the benefits employees receive and Facebook is at least equal to all the major tech companies, but coming from Seattle the benefits are nothing short of incredible. Granted, I haven't been with the company for very long and I'm still in the honeymoon period, but I can tell what's real and what's not; this place is for real.	Like any tech company, the work is big and complicated so work/life balance can suffer from time to time. The difference is that it's the passion within the individuals that drives them to work long hours and forego time off. Of course there can be times when schedule demands force the imbalance, but it's not such that 10-12 hours days become commonplace and expected regardless. We do what we do to get the job done; no one is killing themselves because there's an order to do so. Being able to eat to your hearts/stomachs content can be dangerous to the waistline, but that's a self-control thing and not the company's issue.	Keep doing what you're doing and fight hard to not be complacent. I believe that humility is the key so don't ever lose that thinking. Your motives will always be suspect, but if you're able to look in the mirror everyday and know that your motives are pure, that's all that matters. Walking the talk is the best evidence there is.	5	4	5	5	0	5	4	POSITIVE	POSITIVE	APPROVE	2016-02-16T17:17:42.013	0	true	Site Selection Program Manager	Menlo Park, CA	false	true	449	Meta	40,772	9,592,492
5	People Focused	Facebook deeply cares about its employees and has built a compelling culture around support and growth. Career growth opportunities are plentiful. If you don't like the team you're on or don't get the support you want from your manger, Facebook empowers you to find new teams or projects. Facebook wants its employees to be invested in their work and to feel connected to its larger mission. If large scale opportunities and growth are important to you, Facebook is a fantastic place to work.	Facebook's culture is demanding and fast paced. The greatest aspect of working at Facebook is that everyone is very motivated and very smart. The problem with this is that they all expect the very same of you. Holding a very high bar for excellence can certainly be demanding so it's important to make sure you're always carefully paying attention to your own personal work/life balance.	—	5	5	5	5	0	5	3	POSITIVE	POSITIVE	APPROVE	2020-05-24T18:46:13.737	4	true	Engineering Manager	San Francisco, CA	false	true	200	Meta	40,772	33,339,786
6	Great benefits and impactful work, but constant fear of layoffs and lack of camaraderie	- Best benefits and compensation package in the market - Work is highly impactful and scales to the billions of users. - Resume booster - Much of what you need to live is available on campus (can be a con)	- Social culture is pretty dead - In place of camaraderie, fear-based culture made for PSC and short-term impact-chasing. Kinda checks out because the company plays it quarter-by-quarter too. - You WILL get reorged at some point, often to your loss - WLB: 40 hour workweek will not get you promoted -- now important since performance criteria can change without warning. - Leadership is tone-deaf - Often siloed development work, made even more isolating thanks to AI push. - Mostly all internal tools so it'll be a bit difficult to map your experience here to external tooling	- Arguably we have some of the best and brightest (in the world, let alone in the country) but you will often be reminded how disposable you are when parts of your team disappear while working through sprints. - Be more decisive and stop the news leaks that decrease morale and productivity for months. - RTO != better in-person culture.	2	3	5	1	3	3	3	POSITIVE	NEGATIVE	DISAPPROVE	2026-04-20T09:53:16.507	6	true	Software Engineer	Menlo Park, CA	false	false	0	Meta	40,772	103,639,002
7	Great data tools but a politically charged environment	Excellent internal data tooling for people who want to learn and apply data analytics to their role. Ample opportunities to solve high impact problems for individuals willing to learn the systems, products, and processes across multiple XFN teams.	Extremely political with the majority of managers seeking to move up. A senior manager told me directly that managers sought to expand headcount on their teams to get a higher pay band. This resulted in a sea of managers who were focused more on bloat and justifying budget opposed to solving problems and developing their teams.	Redesign incentive structure for managers and reward them for team outcomes. Ensure that their teams have some kind of charter or goals that are aligned to company and organization OKRs. Too many managers told senior ICs to go out and find issues and fix them. No need for managers in that case.	2	4	5	2	2	2	4	POSITIVE	NEGATIVE	DISAPPROVE	2026-04-24T09:26:40.853	4	false	Senior Program Manager	Austin, TX	false	false	0	Meta	40,772	103,705,419

9	Here for survival (providing for my family)	- great comp and benefits - lovely teammates (shockingly) - nice facilities, good food - interesting work	- Meta feels downright evil - senior leadership (especially Zuck) have zero moral code, no real values to stand on, other than making money at any cost - privacy & consumer considerations are severely lacking - social media impacts on consumers' wellbeing awful (particularly re: children) - AI slop rules our internal comms & external services - connections to T*ump and mass surveillance work feel particularly dystopian	- put people above profits, use your power for good (not evil)	3	3	5	1	1	1	1	NEGATIVE	NEGATIVE	DISAPPROVE	2026-04-28T08:53:00.813	6	true	Communications	San Francisco, CA	false	false	0	Meta	40,772	103,752,552
10	Pretty terrible	Pay is nice. That's about it.	Highly unstable. Recent decisions has left the staff of the entire company in a depressive state I have never seen at a company before - I don't think any SE is really happy here. It genuinely feels like upper management hates their workers. I'm now hearing SE's talking about changing jobs and forming unions in the office every day - it's gotten so bad people just don't care about keeping their job anymore. If you are an SE, I would EXTREMELY recommend looking somewhere else. They are vocal about replacing us with AI here. There's been multiple recent layoffs and from the sound of management, there will continue to be layoffs in the future. Trust me, it is NOT worth the money. You will regret it.	Stop treating your workers like garbage.	1	3	5	1	1	1	1	NEGATIVE	NEGATIVE	DISAPPROVE	2026-04-27T07:26:20.157	2	true	—	—	false	false	0	Meta	40,772	103,733,354

- Incredible benefits - Excellent compensation that rewards strong performance - Lots of autonomy - Tons of room for growth - Very transparent from the top down - Strong leadership - Intelligent and caring colleagues - The most fair and well thought out review process you will find everywhere - Exciting work

- If you don't learn to make the work life balance work for you, it can be exhausting.

Keep doing what you're doing, keep an eye on employee burnout, keep supporting your people and keep pushing them, and the rest of the world, forward.

Great benefits and impactful work, but constant fear of layoffs and lack of camaraderie

- Best benefits and compensation package in the market - Work is highly impactful and scales to the billions of users. - Resume booster - Much of what you need to live is available on campus (can be a con)

- Social culture is pretty dead - In place of camaraderie, fear-based culture made for PSC and short-term impact-chasing. Kinda checks out because the company plays it quarter-by-quarter too. - You WILL get reorged at some point, often to your loss - WLB: 40 hour workweek will not get you promoted -- now important since performance criteria can change without warning. - Leadership is tone-deaf - Often siloed development work, made even more isolating thanks to AI push. - Mostly all internal tools so it'll be a bit difficult to map your experience here to external tooling

- Arguably we have some of the best and brightest (in the world, let alone in the country) but you will often be reminded how disposable you are when parts of your team disappear while working through sprints. - Be more decisive and stop the news leaks that decrease morale and productivity for months. - RTO != better in-person culture.

Great data tools but a politically charged environment

Excellent internal data tooling for people who want to learn and apply data analytics to their role. Ample opportunities to solve high impact problems for individuals willing to learn the systems, products, and processes across multiple XFN teams.

Extremely political with the majority of managers seeking to move up. A senior manager told me directly that managers sought to expand headcount on their teams to get a higher pay band. This resulted in a sea of managers who were focused more on bloat and justifying budget opposed to solving problems and developing their teams.

Redesign incentive structure for managers and reward them for team outcomes. Ensure that their teams have some kind of charter or goals that are aligned to company and organization OKRs. Too many managers told senior ICs to go out and find issues and fix them. No need for managers in that case.

Great pay and benefits, but layoffs are frequent

*great pay and benefits *free food and shuttle * gorgeous campus, world wide brand name *localized team mgmt is great, peers are good people Wlb is manageable but don’t be afraid to work hard * this is not the place to coast at

*layoffs layoffs layoffs * company leadership is struggling with decision making *lots of pivots ; seems unnecessary for a company this large

Here for survival (providing for my family)

- great comp and benefits - lovely teammates (shockingly) - nice facilities, good food - interesting work

- Meta feels downright evil - senior leadership (especially Zuck) have zero moral code, no real values to stand on, other than making money at any cost - privacy & consumer considerations are severely lacking - social media impacts on consumers' wellbeing awful (particularly re: children) - AI slop rules our internal comms & external services - connections to T*ump and mass surveillance work feel particularly dystopian

- put people above profits, use your power for good (not evil)

Pretty terrible

Pay is nice. That's about it.

Highly unstable. Recent decisions has left the staff of the entire company in a depressive state I have never seen at a company before - I don't think any SE is really happy here. It genuinely feels like upper management hates their workers. I'm now hearing SE's talking about changing jobs and forming unions in the office every day - it's gotten so bad people just don't care about keeping their job anymore. If you are an SE, I would EXTREMELY recommend looking somewhere else. They are vocal about replacing us with AI here. There's been multiple recent layoffs and from the sound of management, there will continue to be layoffs in the future. Trust me, it is NOT worth the money. You will regret it.

Stop treating your workers like garbage.
