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.
Anybody know the process of instagram verification? if its a bullet point type thing or necessary and sufficient conditions type thing then csn u just game the system and go do those specs? can fb employees verify people on a whim lol Age 25 TC 256k yoe 5
So what’s really going on in the Instagram verification world? Are employees really taking money for verification? Don’t employees make enough of money and therefore isn’t worth the risk?
The team at Meta probably closely monitoring the effectiveness of Twitter’s new $8/month verification and waiting to do the same thing on IG if it works out for Twitter
Have a few articles published about me related to a business, but very few followers on social is that still enough to get verified on Instagram and Twitter? There are other accounts with a similar name to mine, which seems to confuse followers. Is that enough to get verified on Instagram?
Anyone on Instagram able to help get this for me ? Will pay. #instagram #socialmedia
Long shot: can any good soul that works on FB, ideally Instagram, tell me if it's true that you can internally submit a popular Instagram handle to be verified (get the blue tick)?
I have a friend who wants to verify his Instagram account with a blue checkmark. He's offering a lot of cash to whoever can get it done. Was hoping this was the forum to find someone at Instagram that knows someone who can help.

Instagram asked me to verify my age, i forgot to change the year and it locked me out and asked if i wanted to appeal. I clicked yes, and sent them pieces of ID it asked for and it's now the 26th and no response from them at all and my account is still locked. Just wondering if this is normal or pe...Read more
Turns out two of my friends at Twitter and Instagram have been selling verification slots for the past 5 years. They are trying to recruit me to help find new prospects. Would any of you pay a large sum to be verified? I can imagine it would help job prospecting. Some people fawn over social status...Read more
It seems like such a long time ago but up until 2019, I reckon many celebrities suffered from impostor syndrome because they weren't considered popular enough by IG. Did Instagram auditors contact the celebrity personally to verify or was it just assumed based on the pictures posted? What kind of in...Read more
