Why people leave Facebook so fast?
I just joined Facebook and notice there aren't many people stay for a long time. If you stay for a year, you beat half of the employees. Is it normal in tech company? What makes people leave facebook so fast, or is it just because facebook is expanding so quickly?
What i get from that page is, 4-5 years is the best tenure average. When it's less, it means people can't stand the company, which means they're messing up with something. When it's more, it means the company is aging rapidly, can't keep a good pace for innovation etc.
I wonder where they take their data from, but I suspect self-reporting, which doesn't make it too reliable.
it's because it's growing fast and due to interns - basic math. and no, 1 year is not greater than 50% in tenure, I think you should ask this in the FB lounge (or see this previous thread where you get the average tenure): See here: https://www.teamblind.com/post/Whats-the-average-tenure-at-Facebook-hbTYo5Z5
Because it's an unethical company ran by kids. The average employee is around 25 year old and thinks he is the king. If TC is not your ultimate goal in life, you have no point in being there.
wow, all the bitter rejects are coming out today. Calm yoself
Bitter by what exactly ? I'm trying to explain why people leave Facebook as OP asked. Ah yes the typical bitter by reject. Because the only reason why we might be critical of Facebook is because we are rejected. Scoop for you: not everyone wants to work for Facebook and TC is not everyone's dream. I prefer to work on a fulfilling project. But you do you and go play hacking democracy with the kids in your team
Frequent PiPs plus burnouts. Have a friend who was there was a product marketing manager on the India WiFi initiative. Can’t take it anymore after multiple soul sucking flights and luckily joined google in less than a year
Because Facebook is shithole that makes the world worse. In b4 some Facebook bootlicker thinks I just got rejected from their company.
Either that or it’s a valuable resource in this time of quarantine which enables people to stay connected to their friends and family while they are unable to see each other in person. But go ahead and run with your version of reality.
Eh. I found a bunch of cool local groups on and that got me back into Facebook. It’s a great way to get in contact with local businesses too.
Because Facebook hires too many leetcoders
Also worth mentioning FB hires a lot. Sheryl said we're going to hire 10k more people. That puts you 20% ahead of people
Makes sense, the more you hire, the lower average time at FB.
Whoa whoa whoa...wait what happened, where is that Amazon guy who shits on Facebook every chance he gets? This was posted yesterday and I still don't see him?! Is he ok? Corona???
The ex amazon guy who chose Microsoft over Facebook because he didn’t want to sell the world’s personal data to the highest bidder? I’m too busy fighting the spread of mass disinformation on Facebook to post here.
But is totally happy to work for a company that does business with ICE. "Let he whose company is without shame cast the first shade."
Probably because job hopping gets you the fastest raise. And FB definitely isn't an endgame to many.
What IS an endgame in your opinion?
