Just operations. Zero innovation.
Pros
It's interesting to see how FB operates.
Cons
I was promised a role at the intersection of tech leadership, product strategy and people management. But it was nothing like that at all. I essentially spent 100% of my time doing operational things that I didn't enjoy, like following bureaucratic processes. Directions for the team were set from the top. People are moved around like pawns because of frequent reorgs. Everyone behaved like a career-obsessed robots, always looking for ways to game PSCs. But the most frustrating feeling of all was that I didn't see anyone try to innovate in any way. All the products efforts that I witnessed were either about copying a competitor or leveraging/abusing FB's dominant position in some market to push features to users (in a way that always serves FB's interest first and the user's interest second).
