Pros

Working with loads of smart people is great, you learn a lot. Benefits & perks are good.

Cons

Over time there's this pressure to over perform beyond your level, with removal of bonus: there's the expectation that you should always be delivering more and more, to get the same bonus. This becomes unhearthy, as work and life balance suffers, pressure increases and you end up receiving less compensation for what's essentially the same work. Also, there's a MASSIVE disconnect between "everything proprietary internal" and "the real world", so the longer you work for the company, the more distant you are from skills and tools that'll use at your next job, as most of what was learned, is essentially lost. Stocks compensation also decreases with time, which is another driver to "only stay a few years".

Pros

What brought me here was the brand, what keeps me here are the challenges we face and the talented and fabulous people that I get to work with and learn from. In the two years that I have been here I have learned more than what I have learned in my entire career. I have learned from how others process information and look things, their approach to solving problems, how they structure information and the flags they raise. I have been able to see 'in action' different perspective that have brought awareness and growth, personally and professionally. The people I work with, is the number one reason I am still, and will continue to work here. A second important factor is the flexibility and multiple options that employees are given for returning to work post-pandemic. We have the ability to request remote work and relocate. Every employee has the option to tailor their work schedules and adopt to suite their life styles. Fair and competitive compensation and benefits are secondary.

Cons

Every workplace has opportunities for growth and while not everything is perfect at Meta, no one has said that we have stopped growing. The constant changes indicate the pains of growth and bring hope that things are being looked at and that feedback from employees is being applied. My advise to those who flag issues and are passionate about specific changes is to stick around, work internally and drive change. Don't leave, work and make a change!
