    Be careful what you say and do.
    People will be friendly, and you may feel comfortable. And you may say something you regret later. Just be careful.

    Just know they have cameras everywhere and they have tracking software on the computers. And the offices generally have no privacy (clear glass on virtually all the rooms). Most of the desks are open office floor plans which makes it hard to focus from visual and audible noise.

    Also, projects can be high stress. Managers can be rude. If you are rude to anyone and it gets reported that could be it, you could be laid-off or fired.

    They provide free food and snacks. This is strictly for while working.
    Do not take home any food at the end of work for any reason, except from the cafeteria.

    They used to have beer on Fridays until company policy changed. Now, they only do it for some events.

    Donโ€™t talk about work in the lunchroom even if it is on campus. It is technically public, people invite guests all the time.

    Working there is honestly a panopticon.

      Microsoft is better, and they still have conference rooms with privacy and places to work with doors.

      ...but you pay for all your meals instead of them being provided.

      I was more productive working at Microsoft.

    Completely depends on the team for culture but there is a focus on being independent here.

  • Been at FB 5yrs, itโ€™s no picnic but people are cool if you are smart, work hard and are a good team player. Get shit done and no one will bother you. Great perks, good pay and tons of food
