I read through some old posts about work-life balance at Facebook. Not very promising :D I was wondering about the Boston office in particular. Anyone has insights?

    I actually work in the Cambridge office and mostly stick to 10-6. If I end up doing work later in the evening or on a weekend it's more often than not due to my own procrastination.

    A lot of people with kids come in earlier and leave earlier.

    Oncall varies per team but I don't think any of the teams based in Boston have brutal oncalls and nothing approaches Amazon levels of it.

    Wednesdays are semi-official no meeting days and many people work from home. If you need to do so a bit more often it's something to work out with your manager and will most strongly depend on how productive / communicative you are when doing so.

    There is no work life balance in Boston. Everyone works like dogs.

    When you say WLB is awesome, what's your standard? Feels like it depends for everyone. For me, something like 10-7 with minimal work on weekends, couple weeks on call a year would be awesome for FB. Is this what it looks like?
