Between Facebook, Instagram and whatsapp, which has the best culture and wlb?

WhatsApp. Instagram has pretty bad WLB but good impact and promo, positive culture, good stack (Python, Django). FB app is worst of 3, everyone trying to shove impact everywhere and so directionless esp marketplace and video. WhatsApp is chill but everything is written in Erlang which is apparently shit. YMMV between teams as these are all big orgs.
Does WhatsApp have any java backend teams?
Not that I know of, but if your looking for java teams look into infra. There's Presto (open source) and one other big team that uses Java, though most infra is C++. WLB in infra is much better than product teams.
People that confidently answer this question are BSing... WhatsApp is tiny, so you could probably assess the culture and dynamics as a whole, but fb is huge with drastically different orgs that act very differently and even IG is large enough to have differences between teams
