FB is chaotic, not very easy to navigate. Definitely not for everyone
Will shitty reorg cause that? No matter how good you perform, your impact is useless?
far and away effort to learn and improve. lots of resources to help. You choose your team and they in turn invest in you when they bring you on.
If you put enough effort and aren't an a$$hole, there's no reason we should PIP you.
Amazon have reason to PIP in this case as well!
That's untrue. I've seen very hard-working people here that just can't write code
Not Chinese enough.
Fb is a place where your work doesn't speak by itself.... You will have to make it speak Ex you need to make fb post for your work .... Ppl good at writing it with fancy heading will gather more attention than others without it .... And yeah, they look at audiences who like or comment on that work.... Perception is More audiences like it, more important is the work... If top leadership comment on it, its an important work etc etc ... These are perceptions used for performance review Imagine, you did an excellent work and you are very good at collaborations with others ... You made others involved in work through meetings.... Your launch post for the project will just receive likes, one line comments like Good job If you are poor at including others, they will have questions when you launch ... All those questions be posted as comments ... There are many such issues .... Fb is not for everyone ... Some ppl will suit it's working style... Some don't
Exactly this ^ It’s a lot about how much internal posts one writes. My skip manager told me this during my first month of joining.
My manager told it in our team meeting But I still could not use that information.... I wasn't made for that... My ratings were always good though
I would say at FB impact is greater than how well you do the job. If you take on a project that inherently has low impact on the business no matter how well you engineer it you’ll not be able to get through PSC. Picking the right things to work on is the most important piece to get a good rating. It’s not for everybody but I think this is the right approach. Ultimately what difference your work makes to the org is what you are paid for. Making an excellent engineered solution to something that is low value is not why you are paid the near the top of the market
Getting in is easy surviving needs actual skills
Shitty manager
They are leetcode wizards and have little to no actual skill solving real world problems
Wouldn’t it fall under “Lack of technical skill or experience”?
I think passing leetcode tests shows some technical skill and experience. Whether that experience is enough to perform at the expected level is another story entirely.
