- The truth about Facebook Facebook is unlike most companies. In most places you want to build something so you hire engineers to build it. At Facebook this is not the way hiring works. It is more like hunger games where lots of people are hired and then they compete against each other in a glorious game of PSC. In most tea
- Facebook E4 -> Google L5 Joined FB as E4 in May 2019. Ratings: 2019 H1: Too new to evaluate 2019 H2: Meets All, no promo (manager already told me) Promo after 2020 H1 unlikely. Don't have good projects in my team to show impact and direction. Also other senior ICs have the lead on projects already, and it's hard for me to

- Get out of FAANG and boost you career Title pretty much sums up it all. FAANG companies were the dream companies of the 2000s / 2010s and were very fast growing with exciting career opportunities, bringing many innovations to the world. As they became huge companies they have become the equivalent of past corporate companies, with emp

- X-Facebookers, what do you miss the most Currently considering a career change after 7+ years at FB. It's too political and "backstaby" nowadays (I blame Middle management). For all former colleagues, what is it you miss the most working here and wish you had done in your last month(s)? Also where did you move to? Any tips for marketing/p
- Facebook is a dead company The bar is absolutely on the ground. PSC review process is so deeply broken and now extremely political (FB folks, feel free to share your experiences...) wasted money on contractors and external vendors on dead projects. We are literally bleeding money and extremely inefficient. Our ads business mo
- vote 🔥WOULD YOU RATHER TECH EDITION: Work for Elon's Twitter or Mark's FB?🔥 I think I would choose Elon's Twitter! He will fix that company and make it save democracy and free speech rather than destroy that. If you go in early on an Elon project then you know you will be very rich. On the other hand, Mark's Facebook is a sinking ship that is betting on ridiculous projects
- Are there any companies that allow a late start date? I'm thinking maybe 3-6 months from offer accepted and ideally companies that have good WLB. I would ideally have an extended break before starting the new job to reset and try side projects that I haven't had time to work on. The only companies that I'm aware of that do this are Facebook and Google.
- Instacart vs FB differences How does working at IC compare to FB? Please comment with regards to WLB, PSC stress and the amount of impact needed to be successful at l5 / l6.

- vote Did you turn down a fb offer for amzn? If so, why? I’ve got two very competitive offers from both companies. Amzn wouldn’t require me to move (Seattle), fb would (LA). The amzn project is established and I know for a fact the wlb is fine due to a colleague on the team. Fb project is in startup mode therefore much higher risk. Finally, e
- vote Is facebook E5 strictly a project lead role ? 1. When fb hires E5, are they looking exclusively for people who have led projects in the past ? 2. Is E5 possible for someone who has never led any project and have just worked as an IC ? #e5 #facebook #fb #facebooke5

- Facebook: Worst culture I have worked in many companies. Startups from 10 member team to big companies of 80k ppl. I have changed 8+ companies in my career.

- The Danger of Impact driven culture at Facebook and/ or at FAANG companies is costly to employees' mental health! At first glance "impact" sounds like a noble thing. But if you look at Facebook 10-15 years ago, we were not so heavy on having people proving their impact because their role at the company already naturally created impact. If you have to prove the impact that you had each performance review cycle,
