Not bad, but do feel pressure
Software Engineer (Former Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - January 25, 2023
Overall it is not bad. A lot of smart coworkers. However, it is true about the psc driven culture . Which made things weird. People have to chase after "impact" .

Great pay and benefits, awful everything else.
People Services Specalist (Former Employee) - Austin, TX - December 30, 2022
Work life balance doesn't exist at Meta. I had to be available 24/7, with regularly scheduled meetings at literally any time day or night, and I was in HR. The pay isn't worth the stress and hours.
Pros
Free lunch

One of the best places to work, period.
Software Engineer (Current Employee) - Remote - December 26, 2022
Best work experience I've ever had. Onboarding is thorough. You choose when you are done and can choose your team. People are talented and kind, so it's easy to learn new things. Developer experience is unreal. Internal tools are great, creating a new dev instance is a breeze. All code is available.

benefit, team culture supportive
SDE (Current Employee) - Seattle, WA - December 12, 2022
well paid. most co-workers are supportive and friendly. After re-org/layoff/re-org, things got crazy. We have to take over so many other team's works that we weren't familiar with in a short time. And everyone is eager/rush to show productive results. Things moving really fast but not really productive/meaningful in long term anymore.
Pros
free lunch/benefit
Cons
moving fast/pressure

Good place to work but have to consider about impact all the time
Software Engineer (Former Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - December 11, 2022
The work is meaningful and can be used by millions of users, which would make you satisfied. However, since it's a social media company, employees are forced to post in the internal workplace to talk about their impacts to increase visibility, which might be a con for someone who prefers other ways.

Dream company
Sr. Technical Recruiter (Current Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - December 8, 2022
I loved working at Facebook in the past five years, but 2022 was a sad year, as we are now called Meta. Mark is a great CEO, always caring for the employees.
Pros
free lunch, free iphone 14 free mac all perks
Cons
metaverse layoff stock tanked

Great experience as SWE Intern
Software Engineer Intern (Former Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - December 7, 2022
My team had incredible work-life balance, my skip-manager worked with everyone to help them achieve their promotion goals (even if they were to not be promoted this year). Compensation is very high.
Pros
Free meals, very high salary, great benefits

focus on employees
PM (Current Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - December 2, 2022
can't complain when you realize how much the company does for its employees. It's kind of crazy seeing people complain about reduction in amenities considering that most other companies don't offer nearly as much
Pros
benefits
Cons
company politics

Jobs at Meta
Good pay but toxic culture
User Researcher (Former Employee) - Edina, MN - November 29, 2022
The company only aim to bring benefit but does not care about safety or work-life balance of workers. My manager has no experience to train me or be supportive.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Toxic culture

no communication from upper management
senior talent consultant (Current Employee) - remote - November 25, 2022
culture is great but the company doesn't communicate with their employees, you'll learn about company news from outside the company. Pay is great, with great benefits.

Business is going through a radical shift
Senior Software Engineer (Current Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - November 25, 2022
The vast majority of my experience has been positive. I do think that the brand is rather tarnished at the present moment, rightfully so at times. My team has a great work culture filled with rather passionate folks. The recent layoffs signal is radical shift in the company's operational model is underway. Rough times and wallet tightening ahead.
Pros
Benefits are top notch, respectfully attempts meritocracy
Cons
Ambiguous product direction, recent layoffs, brand

Great talents but lack of directions
Product Design Manager (Former Employee) - Remote - November 20, 2022
I was in the management role and felt lucky to work with a great team of talented individual contributors. Sadly, I can’t say the same about the senior management and cross org leadership. Teams have been overworked since hiring freeze early this year, while being told to “work more with less.” It’s not worth to sacrifice one’s health and personal life to compensate the lack of vision and focus due to leadership mismanagement.
Pros
People, company perks, remote work policy
Cons
Leadership who lacks vision, cut-throat culture

Lack of transparency, lies
Program Manager (Former Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - November 17, 2022
Closed off team with secrets, lack of transparency into how to progress. A manager who couldn't give a hoot about career progression. Over emphasis on Metaverse

Great Bennefits!
Project Specialist (Former Employee) - California - November 17, 2022
Meta offers really great benefits and decent pay. Culture is struggling right now with cuts and layoffs. It is a high-intensity and data-driven company. My experience was that the teams at Meta were great, but the leadership was very disconnected.

Good learning experience, unsure on future
Product Growth Intern (Former Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - November 16, 2022
I learned a lot from the growth team and was positively surprised by how much impact I had the opportunity to make at such a large company. Unfortunately, I can't recommend interning at Meta based on how they handled internship return offers. Based on my conversations with other interns, they only issued return offers to a select number of SWE interns and zero non-SWE interns.
Pros
high talent level, engaged teammates, great comp and benefits
Cons
company direction seems uncertain at the moment, could be high risk high reward or strictly negative

Was a great company
Data Scientist (Former Employee) - Menlo Park - November 16, 2022
In the 2012-2013 era, Facebook (now Meta) was a great company to work for. You could ship code quickly, very collaborative environment, and it was a lot of fun. Seems that things have changed.

Lots of learning
Software Engineer (Former Employee) - MPK - November 15, 2022
Learnt a lot in a short span of time, fast moving and fast growing culture, free food, gym, and perks are too good. Most of the time, you will be overworked.

Good Company
Software Engineer Intern (Former Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - November 13, 2022
Great benefit and compensation. It is competitive working as an intern, people constantly work overtime. The most enjoyable part of the job is to have free breakfast, lunch and dinner.
