      Company is on downhill with a jerk as a CEO

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people you work with are great, which is why I am still here (although seriously looking for other jobs right now) Perks used to be great but not so much anymore

      Cons

      Culture is horrible right now, they are firing people left right & center. They are showing you that they dont care about employees anymore - be it through perks, through the extereme top down culture, calling it a year of intensity- you are nothing but a coding machine for them,. Perks are mostly all gone, from mediocre snacks to limited commuter benefits. Dont want to sound like a entitled employee but believe me, there are other places in the Bay area who give you more just for working for them & as a thank you. also WLB is non-existent

      Toxic culture with cutthroad performance process

      Production engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pros: ➤ Strong Resume Booster: The "ex-Meta" tag looks good on a resume and can open doors at other companies. ➤ Competitive Pay & Benefits: High salary, bonuses (once a year), and solid perks. ➤ Opportunities Depend on Team: Some teams work on cutting-edge tech, but it’s hit-or-miss. ➤ Good US Office Perks: Food is great in US offices, and some employees get travel opportunities (though heavily restricted now).

      Cons

      Cons: ➤ Brutal Performance Reviews: Conducted every six months, and if you fall behind early, you can’t recover. Everything depends on your team lead’s opinion, not actual work. ➤ Toxic Work Culture: Bootlicking and politics matter more than skills. If your team lead dislikes you, your career is dead. ➤ Clueless Management: Most managers have zero technical knowledge, so your performance is judged arbitrarily. ➤ No Job Security: The company has no real policy for underperformance—if you fall sick or miss a target, you risk getting laid off. The latest wave saw 4,000 employees cut without warning. ➤ Stress & Burnout: Employees spend an entire week writing self-reviews, only for biased managers to decide their fate. Many quit within a year due to mental exhaustion. ➤Big Boss Lack of Empathy: During the first layoff wave in 2021, he dodged employee concerns, turned off his camera, and rewarded executives while firing workers. He only cares about AI replacing engineers. ➤ Engineering Experience is Limited: Most of what you learn at Meta doesn’t apply elsewhere. Real engineers have either left or secured safe positions within the company. ➤ Advancement is Political: ➤ Terrible London Office Food: No matter the cuisine, it's bad. ➤ Fewer Travel Opportunities: Flights have been reduced, and managers rarely approve business travel anymore.
