Too stressful this year

Pros

Smart and capable people. Downlevel is common. This year will be one more downleveling.

Cons

Smart and capable people. But performance expectations were ramped to the max by Zuck this year. So managers and directors are looking for faults in your personality or anything closely related to your job or office interactions.

Hyper competitive workplace

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, benefits and perks like free food.

Cons

Hyper competitive culture makes it a stressful place to work. People are rewarded for documented impact not helping or teaching others. Somewhat toxic culture where significant number of leaders exert dominance through bullying tactics, such as constantly interrupting or talking over others they feel are inferior. Almost no one will offer to help you as there are is no recognition in performance review for generosity and difficult to show impact in PSC of helping colleagues. With stack ranking now in place , helping others actually puts your salary growth and job security at risk (current policy is 5-10% of performers are terminated) Self promotion and fake self confidence is the norm and tiresome especially at meetings.
