Meta(Facebook) WLB
I am in final round of interviews at Meta for Software Engineer role and curious how the WLB is at Meta. There’s some polls from a few years ago but curious if things have gotten better? I’m assuming no since the focus is efficiency according to Mark. TC: 0
Depends a lot on the team. A lot of the times it is self inflicted horrible: codebase can be terrible with bad code no tests and tons of tech debt. Maintaining and working on such codebase takes a lot of effort and time. More than it should. Adding more patches on top of bad code is what's rewarded
You summarise ad org pretty well
Sounds like most orgs lol
Damn Airtable still exist?
It has gotten only worse
Can someone enlighten me on Meta vs Amazon WLB? Is it worse, better, or the same?
Amazon will keep being #1 in the "worst big tech company" category.
Yes the wlb is bad but this is why you're getting paid so much
We should change the wording of how’s wlb to how little work can I get away with and get a check
Can you get promoted from E4 to E5 in one year if you work liked a madman?
Yes if you show impact and know how to schmooze
