I was at FB for 2 years, joined from a startup. It’s been 3 months at Apple and I’m loving it so far. Some of the personal things I observed, 1. Once a year perf review, no real danger of PIP 2. Everyone works decent hours, nobody’s checking code during late nights and weekends 3. Nobody is hacking numbers and metrics to show the impact like FB 4. Nobody sounds entitled here, at FB I had my manger telling me how lucky I was to work there! 5. They really care about privacy, there’s a weekly with privacy and legal teams to keep them in loop 6. Comp, stock growth, ESPP, 401K, 🍎 discounts and refreshers are great! 7. Infra and tools can be better, but it’s not terrible as I was expecting from discussions here 8. Codebase is much cleaner, modular and testable than FB 9. No on-calls as SWE, SRE’s manage the infra - at FB having sev’s were nerve racking 10. As an Introvert, I love that everyone works in silo - at FB, we had to constantly boast about a shitty patch I hacked on workplace to be relevant TC:400k Come join us, we’re hiring, DM for referrals!
May be honeymoon period....lol 😉
Maybe, I didn’t have honeymoon period at FB though, it was a rough sex from Day 1 right after boot camp 😂
People like it rough too 😉

That’s crazy tc for 7 Yoe, any recommendations for getting there?

FB is one of the best places for high performers. They reward you like crazy. I dont think apple does the same.
Crazy as in seriously like 7 figures or are we talking an extra 100k for 70hr/week of crap?
E7 is can hit 1.3m or so, E8 can be 2m+. They give additional equity grants that can be in the 1-2m range for top performers as well. Most top engineers get the extra grant yearly on top of refreshers.
I’m interested but ran out of DMs. Would you please DM ME!
can confirm
I ran out of DM, can you please DM me?

Nice try Apple recruiter. But yes, I agree FB isn't that great to work at (ex-FB).
Lol, Apple recruiters are shit, they’d ghost you to the death. They don’t have time to be here on Blind, they hardly get in touch on emails.
What’s the best way to hear back from Facebook?
