Pros

- Fun environment to work with some bright and talented individuals

Cons

- Too many layers of incompetent managers based in California, that have no understanding or willingness to learn about international management. As such, they do ridiculous things like putting an 8 hour time difference between key people in a team (Designer in California, Engineers in UK) and expect the team to perform at or above locally based teams. - Too many people believe working until 10pm regularly is acceptable. - Too many people in senior positions, have no real world experience. They are there through tenure and not talent. - Work is like a feature factory. There is little to no interest in R&D. - Hopeless product managers that don't use the product they work on, to the point they can't tell the difference between Instagram DMs, WhatsApp or Messenger. - Bloated organisations with too many people wanting to provide input and opinion, results in nothing getting done. Worst organisation I worked at for efficiency. - Immature people who care more about the quality of the food available than the meaningful work they should focus on.

Pros

I have worked with some of the most talented and caring people in my time at Meta. The work is constantly changing, which can either keep you engaged (me) or frustrate you.

Cons

The leadership at Meta is completely and utterly terrible, and getting worse every year. The company direction is to chase the next big thing — crypto, short-form video, the meta verse — without putting enough thought or care into how it should be done. There has been no accountability for mistake that lead to the 11/22 lay-offs, and the “year of efficiency” in 2023 has, so far, been a farce as very little work is getting done.
