Pros

- Most engineers are above average - London office is new, good cantine and micro kitchens

Cons

- Most managers are not very technical and keep moving around between teams - Big focus on impact and moving fast and almost no concern for quality - "Don't do it if you can't add it to your performance review" mentality - London Office location is far from public transport

Pros

Meta is very metrics driven and meritocratic. It's fast paced, but small teams can get a lot done.

Cons

You need to make sure your work is visible, and get projects you want.

Pros

Decent Pay, opportunity to work with smart people

Cons

Unreasonable layoffs, some of the hardest working and smartest people I know were laid off for "performance reasons", most of them had a great track of performance records.
