WLB at Facebook London office

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?

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.

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.

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

Yeah. Living the European dream and all šŸ˜€

You can work a human amount right now. No need to move.

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.

You realize 6:30 is already too late, right?

@No Ember some of that is necessary if youā€™re working with teams on Pacific Time

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?

Amazon rUme46 Nov 1, 2018

Iā€™m interested about that too

Do you have any Intel about the integrity team?
