I see posts all around Blind about poor WLB at FB. How about the London office? Is it the same? Given that the compensation in London is much lower than that of MPK, do they cut some slack?
Compensation is lower yes, but WLB is not good at all. It is a team thing but I can assure you on average we work as hard, if even not harder, than MPK.
Thanks for the reply
Yeah. I heard about that team.
Damn I was hoping to transfer to London and get paid less but also maybe work a human amount
Depends on the time of the year but I see people chilling more than the opposite on average
It's fine. You can choose teams that avoid lots of mpk colabs if you care more than average about it. My team has fairly strict 'no chat pings after 7' rule and doesn't take meetings after 6:30. There are some teams that are stricter than that.
Up, considering to move to Facebook london, but i am really scared about Facebook wlb after Amazon. Recruiter told me that Facebook hires for Community Integrity team. Any info about this org?
The compensation is lower because the market pricing is lower. WLB is a team-specific thing, it would seem.
It's team specific at every company. But the prevailing consensus is Facebook, as a company, has really bad wlb. Even worse than Amazon.
According to Blind. Glassdoor is a different story.
