Not attempting to bash the company here. But do FBers have an elitist personality or something? I graduated with 2 of my other friends and we all work here in the Bay. They both are at FB (one is a Prod Eng, other is a Data Eng). First couple of months went fine, but now it seems like they always just poke at the fact I work at AWS (SWE) and they'll often make annoying jokes about bananas and the door desks (which might be true in Seattle idk - never been to Seattle, but Bay is a lot cooler!) I genuinely still like them since we grinded through college together (dem memories tho) but it's becoming more and more constant to the point where it's becoming just plain annoying. I want to branch out more but it's harder to meet other new grads here since most of them go to Amazon Seattle (HQ) and they've introduced me to some people from FB (some of which are similar, but some are pretty cool!) I've already told them it's annoying but then they just say they're joking and it makes me look like the bad one by causing a scene.
HA you work at AWS!
grind and get to fb/goog as a swe and shut em up lmao
Naw, not everyone wants to be at those company. Tons of good companies other than Google and Facebook.
Google yes. Facebook? Debatable.
Lol go eat a banana and get back to work
Dick measuring contest in the bay. Bay is toxic.
Omg the trolls. You should be proud. Ignore the tech bro dbs
Yup, the elitist tech bro attitude at FB. Really don't like that aspect of our culture.
What single straight male would brag about living in the bay - especially young ones? Lmfao
Make friends outside of the tech world. Everyone is insecure and over compensates. You'll need a break from it.
https://www.timeshighereducation.com/student/news/which-colleges-do-facebook-google-and-other-top-employers-recruit People come from great backgrounds as you can see from the above, but they are generally humble. I have lots of friends at Amazon. I still see it as a top tech company, and you should be proud to work there.
How does this justify OPâs friends?
There are exceptions everywhere - just as you might meet an arrogant person on the street. This isn't the norm. Most people are humble at these top tech companies.
