#Bootcamper. Worried about team selection because I have heard bad things about WLB, specifically about messenger and ads team. Even met a few managers who just talk about impact and delivering fast without much focus on ramping up and mentoring. Is finding a good team impossible at Facebook? Please suggest some some good teams. I donât mind working hard every now and then but it should not be regular expectation to work on the weekends.
Depends on your TC, level and goals.
Facebook. You will get fucked with a rod here. Focus on playing politics and making allies. Don't focus on engineering. Please
Wow. Sounds like FB is the new Amazon to me.
Amazon doesn't have the same employee benefits as Fb
The Ads team is like 50 teams. You need to be more specific
Messenger wasn't that big but it had enough subteams (and both product and infra parts, IIRC) when I was there that I'm sure it varied. And I'm sure it's even bigger now
Welcome to FB
Itâs horrible nowadays. Managers are just trying to get their teams staffed no matter what. Theyâll promise you everything to get you. Donât be fooled. Ask directly about wlb. Ask the same each team member individually. Ask their pulse score. Donât even think about choosing a new or inexperienced manager no matter what they promise. Clarify attrition on the team. Make sure their mission makes sense to you. Iâve taken risk although there were so many red flags and now I am about to leave FB. Good luck! PM me if you need more hints.
Whatâs a pulse score?
Kinda score for various aspects of your work like how would you rate WLB, is manager good, how long are you planning to stay etc. all teams are doing it twice a year. Itâs not open outside the team. Itâs like 50 questions to rate. Then you can compare to your org or company. And also you can track how the team is doing.
Fb sucks
