Can you please share your insight of company culture,work life balance and any other aspects for Facebook vs Apple?
Depends on team. But most teams work at least 50+ hours per week. Imagine all your colleagues work extra hours after going back home and have better productivity and impact, will you not work extra hours to keep pace?
Work smarter, not longer. I used to keep up with that rat race but now unless there’s a LSE sev-2 I don’t really need to do more than cursory email checking outside of business hours. I used to work 60-70 hours at Amazon, now I think my max during launch season is 55.
In a recent onsite interview at FB, one of my interviewers said that because FB does performance reviews every 6 months, "you feel every week of vacation you took in those reviews". Does that sound like a healthy work/life balance? It was certainly a factor in me turning down the offer.
So much for 20+ days of vacation
FB depends on manager, team mates and your skills vs level. If you come in under-level (e.g 5yrs experience in good company to E4) you could take it easier, but even then if team culture includes fb chat discussions and diff reviews at 10pm or weekend, perf review can't be too good if you're not available when your team needs you.

Is it true that on average an engineer works 55-60 hours at Facebook?
Have similar concern, that is why I asked. My friend who works at fb is from 10 to 6, so at least for him, the answer is no.
