I got an offer to work for Meta as IC5. I worked at Amazon for 2.5 years and I know their stack rank system means that you’re always very competitive against your peers cuz you don’t wanna be in the bottom x% at EoY.
Any idea if Meta is similar? If not, can anyone elaborate on what it’s like? I like working with my peers to make awesome products, not worry about looking good on paper to save my skin.

Most other companies will retain their good engineers at any cost.
Just be good enough. Form my understanding the peer pressure comes at Meta as it dangles large carrots to it’s engineers and also a general immaturity of their leadership (because of fast promos, you can have some very young managers who don’t know what they are doing)
