      Pros

      My coworkers are the smartest people I have ever worked with. They love their jobs and they work hard. But they keep a balance in their lives. Also, the management team is a group of good human beings. They really want to harness the power of what they've created to accomplish something they believe in. They know that if people across the globe can connect - good things will happen. And they have.

      Cons

      It can feel very chaotic, fly by the seat of your pants, always on the go. It's growing so quickly it's hard to tell who owns what project etc.

      Brilliant engineers, broken culture — burnout disguised as impact.

      Pros

      * Talented engineers everywhere. You’ll learn a lot if you survive the pace. * Top-tier tools and infrastructure; technically, everything works beautifully. * Compensation is excellent — they pay well for your time, sanity, and weekends. * Remote flexibility (when allowed) helps offset how draining the culture can be.

      Cons

      * Meta confuses urgency with importance. Everything’s a fire drill, even the things that don’t matter. * The “move fast” mantra has turned into “move constantly.” There’s no real space for deep work or thoughtful engineering. * Performance culture rewards visibility over substance — those who talk loudest get ahead, not those who build the most stable systems. * Managers often act like political players instead of technical leaders. Feedback loops are shallow, and actual mentorship is rare. * Genuine work-life balance doesn’t exist; burnout is normalized, not solved.

      Huge culture shifts over the years

      Pros

      excellent comp and fantastic employee perks, teammates are supportive and in the weeds together, fun on sites, growth potential and tons to learn.

      Cons

      they grind you down hard, reality labs is a really toxic group with cutthroat mentality (miss one thing on your perf review - you’re out or on watch). half my team was fired. i saw countless teammates let go. one after the other. it’s like a blood bath. nobody is happy. when i left i got so many long sighs and please take me with you. makes me sad because the culture seven years ago was so beautiful, like a big family.
