Compensation is the biggest pro. Also, unlike other hire to fire companies (most tech companies at this point in 2024), you at least have a chance to prove yourself and are given a couple months to onboard. There are worse tech companies out there such as Amazon and Intuit, but Meta’s culture is still quite terrible. They try and justify the long hours and stress with how much you can make - Meta still pays more than any other major tech company, even in 2024, which is definitely a pro, but the culture is cutthroat and you can’t trust anyone. It would probably be easier to work two remote jobs at “less prestigious” tech or tech adjacent companies to make the same amount at Meta with more stability, better WLB, and less drama.
Pretty much the same as what one would experience at most tech companies in 2024. But some aspects are better or worse than others. Long hours. WLB is highly team dependent. Apparently Meta used to be a lot better in this regard, but now not so much. It is intense, but if you have startup experience, it is at least less intense than that. And again, it is more fair than a place like Amazon. Office politics are a thing at all tech companies, but a little more extreme at Meta. Blame and shame culture is big. People are snakes and are prepared to throw even the newest and most vulnerable employees under the bus to save their own skins. This makes things quite unfair, but as long as you’re proactive and document everything thoroughly, you’re at least given a chance to refute these attacks. A lot of gossip and backstabbing. This is separate from and still related to PSC culture, which everyone complains about. Management is terrible overall. Sometimes there is micromanagement. One of the few companies where it’s possible you’ll have a manager younger than you, even if you’re only 27-31ish. Often ICs seem to be held accountable for things that are way beyond their day-to-day scope - basically things that are ultimately the fault of leadership and management. Management frequently tries to pin things on their employees. Your manager is often trying to screw you, and if they can’t find a way, they are often trying to invent things you did wrong. This isn’t a dealbreaker because as long as you’re doing your job, it is easy to refute, but it creates a ton of work because you have to be extremely well-organized and have documented every interaction with your manager colleagues. I recommend studying employment law / consulting with an employment lawyer early on in your tenure at Meta, so you know what to look for. Because it is a massive tech company, you are there to please your manager and make them look good, so you need to do pretty much whatever they say. there’s a lot of internal conflict because it’s very authoritarian, also fairly draconian, and it’s bottoms up at the same time, every man for themselves. Do everything your manager says and it is somehow still all up to you as an individual employee to make the company successful. To top it all off, your colleagues suck too. People brag about work that YOU did as being THEIR work that THEY did if it is successful. If a project involving multiple people is so much as an hour late, then YOU are blamed, even if you had nothing to do with the lateness. The lateness itself isn’t really the problem because guess what? It’s not anything is broken. Except for when things do break and the whole app crashes for a day because everyone is forced to focus on office politics instead of their actual work. it’s not really about the value you create, so much as it is the PERCEIVED value you create and whether or not your manager likes you. Ergo, a lot of bootlicking charlatans make it to the top.
Can anyone who works at Meta share their Instagram Ad credit code with me? I am working on building an Instagram account that helps color blind people and disabled people play board games we all enjoy and my biggest challenge is reaching the right audience. #meta #instagram
I was wondering why you guys keep preventing people from scraping Instagram pics? It’s just internet creepy. Why not just let them do it?
I keep seeing lot of people from Facebook and Insta doing sponsered post, are they getting like free credit.
Comments of users I follow are FILLED to the BRIM with bots. I can’t even find the comments I want to see unless I scroll DEEP. You guys make 250k+ TC for what??? Sincerely, -Frustrated Instagram User TC: 🥜
Have seen this in previous experience, companies tend to hire from competitors. When Meta unfreezes hiring are they coming for tiktok employees to help with Reels. Thinking if i need to brush up on leetcode or not😜😜 Tc : 450k/ 550k with monopoly money(paper rsus) #meta #hiring

👋🏼 hi! Probably a super low chance this will work but my best friend of 17 years either got hacked or locked out of her relatively small Instagram account (878 followers). She has done all the verification procedures and still can’t get in and can’t get support from instagram. She says she has tr...Read more

On the ...Read more
About a year ago, someone was stealing my photos and captions on Instagram. I reached out to them to ask them to please stop or at least tag me. They must have reported me because within a day, I started to be locked out of my account. Now, a year later, I can’t post to my story, access my DMs or po...Read more

I used to date a current Meta employee. After we broke up, I met and fell in love with a woman who makes a good chunk of change as a social media marketer. Here’s where shit gets weird. Ever since we met, she continued to casually mention that her viewership is down across the board. Fast forward t...Read more
This is a follow up to the plain text password scandal a few months ago. Millions of Instagram user passwords were exposed to employees in a searchable format in an internal database. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/18/facebook-says-employees-had-access-to-millions-of-instagram-passwords.html

My Instagram account got permanently disabled back in December for using a 3rd party app that checks for unfollowers (I know, I know.) I had no idea that using them was a bannable offense since it was something i've been using for almost a decade now with no issue. I had never had any issues with In...Read more

He's using duplicate accounts using a clever marketing strategy. At the beginning, I thought it was clever, but then I realized it's literally not following your terms of service. Tiktok explicitly is supposed to ban duplicate accounts. Has anyone internally talked about this? If so, please do so. B...Read more
