HR Admin- Austin

Pros

Fun, exciting, challenging, dynamic, a lot of smart people, good training offered, free food and amenities. Good growth opportunities, some genuinely good people there

Cons

The people in the Austin office are brutal. I felt like I was in high school again. They bash each other, gossip and belittle 'outsiders' or people they don't know. I overheard the 'senior' employees belittling me and making fun of a physical condition I have SEVERAL times. They smile to your face but they are passive aggressive and outright mean. And I performed very well at my job, loved my team in CA, and loved the company. But some of those 'lifetime' FB people are poisoning the culture. I had to leave after a year. And good luck telling anyone. It's career suicide

Pros

60% of the people are nice and civil, but the same could be said just about anywhere you go. These are usually employees with less than a 2 year tenure. The rest of the 40% are classified as the FB veterans, who believe they deserve certain privileges (like mistreating and bullying new employees). The culture is to blame as FB values tenure over experience. An IC with 2 years of FB experience and 0 years of life experience is perceived to be more valuable than a FB noob with 15 years of industry experience. It's akin to that one possessive and insecure person in a group of friends who gets down right hostile when a new friend enters the circle. I'm the only noob on my team so you can imagine my plight. The team is very hostile towards me and I absolutely dread coming to work every day. My manager encourages and actively participates in this kind of high school-esque nonsense. I made a huge mistake coming to FB and I can't wait to leave. You have been warned-do not join unless you're a glutton for punishment.

Cons

See above-yes, you guessed right, there are no pros! The performance review process is every bit as bad as Zuck's psychopathic stare. The only way you will get a satisfactory rating is if you're good friends with your direct manager and your peers. It forces you to form insincere and bogus relationships with people.

Pros

Benefits - a huge variety of top-notch benefits, so many to list here. But clearly some of the best in the industry. This is what makes people go back to work every day.

Cons

Toxic environment. Managers are not trained, and they just get promoted just because they are women, are diverse, or know some higher up in the company. To work with such toxic managers, you have to kiss someone's behind if not they will find a way to knock you out. So everyone middle management and below is kissing someone's behind. Brown nosing is the norm. You can clearly see 50% of them are do-ers, carrying the whole workload of everyone and 50% rise up top just because of they schmooze their way to the top. I joined pre-IPO and now this company is bloated and the environment is toxic. You'll end up falling sick regularly because of all the toxicity around you.
