Meta reviews

Be prepared to be in a team with a lead that has no holistic understanding of the technical problem at large drive redundant, unrealistic roadmaps. Leadership is hired by folks that aren’t even in the same technical field, so they have no idea whether that person even knows what they are doing or not. The only thing that matters is your ability to convince your delusions upon your superiors in a 45-minute presentation. You’ll be surrounded by technical zealots with a very narrow understanding of a technical problem try and convince everyone that they are right, which they will because the social atmosphere in management and leadership is incredibly clique-y and politic-y. Be amazed as you observe continent workers and vendors get paid 1/4 the salary of FTEs while doing three times the work and be saddled with the real problems. I’ve never seen so many people be so confidently wrong before.

- Poor work-life balance: Unfortunately, the work-life balance at Meta leaves much to be desired. The nature of the job often demands long working hours, including weekends and holidays. It becomes challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance, which leads to constant stress and burnout. - High-pressure environment: The fast-paced and high-pressure work environment can be overwhelming at times. There is a constant push for meeting tight deadlines and delivering results, which can add to the stress levels of employees.
