I have my second on-site at FB coming up, but all this news lately is making me think it might not be the best time to join Facebook. Am I wrong to feel that way? Back to leetcoding now.

They are cashing out and would rather not deal with the bullshit. This is standard.

It's bad right this moment, but it will be good for the longterm. With the founders now gone, we can do more without them getting in the way.
I think zuck is going to drive instagram into the ground now that he will have full control :(
Why and how is it bad? I have an onsite in a month
