Facebook employees - how would you rate your job? Do you love working at FB? Do you think your company promotes growth?
Ex goog here. I love it due to the faster promos and benefits. No waiting 3 years to go from L4 to L5. The option to choose your team and manager makes a huge difference too
That’s the exact reason why I’m asking! Thanks - any other tips?
Yes, find your interests and join the internal groups at fb. You will find friends and colleagues to connect with and find out more about teams that fit best with you quickly that way.
I love my job, the promo opportunities I’ve been afforded , and the compensation is great.
It's a job. After explosive growth, its not the same company it was 3-5 years ago. Not as great, IMO. Comparing to google, it has it pros and cons, which I am sure you will hear about.
I love my current job best, and I worked with msft and aws in the past. Here engineers play bigger role if you ask me. More responsibility and less bullshit. The only thing is everyone works hard so it’s more difficult to be outstanding
Good, yes, yes
Love it! Went from E3 to E5 in two years. Outside of promos, I sincerely feel like I've grown in confidence, technical ability, and product sense. Way more then I was expecting to as a new grad.
I'm very happy. IC5. Pay and benefits are good. There are some annoying issues that occur with any large company, and I would like to be a bit more valued (through career growth) for my contributions, but overall I am extremely happy I started work at FB 3 years ago.
Same here. Came from G. Love the freedom (less red tape, no freaking readability BS, etc), better pay & perks, faster promo. Hate PHP (which is almost everywhere) and half-year review optimizations (when code/design quality is sacrificed for short term goals).
Did you start 3 years ago as a new grad?
