Yup. One of the Worst decisions I have made was joining here. My experience has been sh*taverse. I worked at other FAAMGs before, and have always enjoyed working with smart people and have always been exceeding my goals and doing well. Then I joined Meta thinking I was going to work with the ⊠Cream of the crop? đ€Ł I joined this team, although this team has had some bad press, but I was like âItâs Meta. Cmon, it canât be bad. Itâs the F of FAANG!â. Keywords describing my experience: - Incompetent Managers - Backstabbing Colleagues - A bunch of idiots somehow made it in - The team/work: Chaos - PSC is coming, lets tick them boxes to maximize my IMPACT. Time for Impact Impact ImpactâŠ. đ€źđ€źđ€ź - Everyone fake smiling everyday Face to face: đđđLovvvv your idea Behind back: Hate that guy - Leadership asks for âfeedback to be better leadersâ. Give feedback and youâll be on their blacklist. Itâs an Fâing Dumpster fire! I hated every moment here. But there are two things I really liked: 1- Food is tasty 2- There are massage chairs to let off steam I left another FAANG thinking I was moving up. Damn, it feels worse than LUNAâs crash. TC: 270K YOE: 7
Do you feel it is in the majority of the teams or you've just got the bad one? Can you move to another team?
Iâm sure there are great teams. My team isnât one.
Were you pre-allocated to this team? Why did you choose this team?
With two fangs on your resume you should be able to swap easily. Though, your situation seems more unique to your team than the whole company.
I agree. I am not saying Meta is bad. But my experience at this team at Meta isnât great.
Thatâs really unfortunate, if youâre not too new to transition to another team, maybe try that. Definitely hope it gets better for you!
You leaving?
Hope. Not decided yet.
Which company did you leave for Meta?
Sorry to hear. Hope you land at a better gig.
Thanks.
What team and department?
Privacy.
Haha... yeah, that makes sense now. Bro... thats the department that it kinda collects the least ambitious people and 'woke' of the company. Find another team.
I am the opposite, I am loving my time here. My team members are really smart, same with XFN, and we are doing some really cool things. I feel I hit the jackpot, as my work is more fun than at a startup, yet I get paid 600k, TC. I also have worked with both small and large companies, and at Meta I can tell everyone is smart. You must have been at some crappy team. Also, I agree with you, the food is super delicious.
Haha Not real TC. đ Yup. I can sense by talking to other teams that some are great. And itâs just my luck with this team. As for how I got into the team, because I was pre-allocated. Glad youâre enjoying it :)
6pack, is your team hiring?
My stripe experience!
Your team or the whole place?
u donât like stripe?!?!!
Menlo or Seattle ?
M.
Wait where are the massage chairs in mpk
I think the real problem is your low TC.
TC seems to be exactly where it should be based on this attitudeâŠ
