Do you get stressed at work? FB seems to have high expectations from its employees.

  • My (likely inaccurate) impression about fb from blind is that top performers get a ton of RSUs (3x), and that’s why they work super hard. If you want work-life balance (wlb), you can get by with 1x RSU with normal stress levels, and hopefully don’t get retrenched for being a reliable (not workaholic) peformer. Is this understanding accurate or is there something more to it?

      Basically FB could fix this problem by increasing their hiring bar and hiring fewer people. But Zuck has spent too much time with Reed Hastings, he might have been influenced by Netflix's quick hire quick fire strategy. Its not as bad as Netflix though, that is the worst.

      This is by far the most convincing answer on why wlb at facebook is so bad. Even I found Facebook interviews to be too easy.

    In some team the peer pressure is immense, especially those all-Chinese team.
