Is anyone at Facebook working a sane 40 hours week as a SWE? Anyone there with kids who gets to leave work early hours say 8-5?
I know of people getting PIPd after a few months. Everyone I know who’s worked there is pretty much unanimous in their descriptions.
Yes and yes
Yes and yes. I’m in Infrastructure. On call is the only part that is random — but it’s only once every few weeks. Every company has good and bad teams for wlb. Fb is no different.
Yea but what's the ratio of good to bad teams?
I managed to land on a bad one when I was there, but in infra had a bunch of customer teams and most of them seemed pretty healthy. Overall, my impression while there was more good than bad. Would have stayed but my last manager (after 3 in a year) was toxic and blocked my trying to leave the team.
Besides oncall, I'm working 35 hours a week. Getting very good reviews and expecting promo in my first half (E3, new grad)
Yes. Coworkers with kids almost always leave at 5.
And then you see diffs come in from them again once the kids are in bed and on the weekend
I work 8:30 to 4:00.
Your output will be measured against those working much more. So if you're just that good it's doable. If not you'll struggle along until you get asked to leave or give in to the hours.
This is what my frends tell me : Pips happen. Firing also happens. Tensed review cycles. 60 hrs per week is common. People are nice though.
I work 8-4

Thanks for the helpful post. The world is more than one time zone, you know?
Hehe it’s funny, though.
