      Great place to work if you adapt to intense demand for self-directed prioritization of multiple tasks & comm. channels

      Pros

      Overall I enjoyed my time at Meta and advanced my DS skills. Everyone I interacted with were top-notch in talent and skills, driven to do great work, kind, and supportive. I felt like a valued member of the team I was on, and had great working relationships with everyone. The onboarding was pretty effective and any information or documentation you needed was at your fingertips through the comprehensive federated internal platform for sharing information. I had great support from my managers. And the work was stimulating and I learned a lot. There is a culture of striving to have a demonstrable impact, which can be a good thing, but also intense at times. And finally, as everyone knows by now, Meta has amazing compensation, benefits, and perks, which is always a plus. Also, I felt like having a work / life balance was honored there, in that I was never expected to work weekends or holidays, or answer emails in off-hours and such.

      Cons

      As I allude to in the headline, the main challenge is that you are exposed to a multitude of information streams of varying types. You are also highly encouraged to regularly write posts to share your work and progress. I would typically have one to four meetings a day as well. Even with good manager guidance, by being embedded on a cross functional team, you can end up having many requests for work of varying complexity. So, this all requires an extreme ability to prioritize your work and exquisite time management skills: if you're great at that, then you can be successful at Meta.

      Good salary but hard to find motivation given constant re-orgs and poor leaders

      Data scientist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great salary Good atmosphere at the office Come as you are Good systems in place for promotion

      Cons

      Constant re-orgs will make your every day job feel completely meaningless You will start projects and have to stop them every few months You will constantly drop or revert things you create You will spend most of your time in planning instead of executing and will have to start everything from scratch every few months because of some higher up decision People coming and going means decisions are made then reverted, then made again, with no logics You will feel that the work you do is meaningless, not impactful and that you are only working to make money
