      Disorganized and malfunctioning. Good only if you like corporate games

      Pros

      It used to be a fun place to work, but now it feels more like a grind house for thousands of engineers. - Your work affects millions of people. At least they tell you so. - Good food and cool campus. So it gives 2nd star.

      Cons

      - Hidden stack ranking. Everybody has to go through half year reviews. Good luck with your manager and your work! Nobody cares what exactly you did or how you did. They look at metrics and your impact, which is a BS term for making people work hard. It's not a product driven company. - It's a metrics driven company. You have to compete with recent grads. If you think you can actually make an impact, you're delusional. You're there to oblige your manager. That's it. Metrics, metrics, metrics. If you're behind in metrics, then shame on you! You let down your manager, your team and entire company. It's not any different than what it used to be at IBM or Yahoo and what actually killed those companies.

      At the core of what we do is our mission - to give people the power to build community and to bring the world closer together. All decisions should come back to whether we are moving the needle on that metric. We're sorry if you experienced anything less than that. We'll share this with our internal teams to keep ourselves honest.
