Meta reviews

- If you land in the wrong team or are a victim of poor management, HR will not do anything about it, even if you have evidence. Firstly, they are severely understaffed (one HRBP per 200 managers?). - The feedback cycles are too political. This is one of the worst things about Facebook. It has 'imported' bad habits and bad people from other companies who brought their corporate baggage with them. It didn't used to be like this. - People work on projects based on their six-month feedback review, not what's good for a team or the company. The lack of accountability from upper management makes this much worse. People get promoted for 'inventing' things that get abandoned after a month. - If you are good at public relations but do nothing, you can get very far at Facebook. It means you have 'visibility'. It's poisonous. - It has become so cynical that the latest 'trick' to get someone promoted to director is for them to organise a 'global' gathering. In other words, bring a bunch of people to Menlo Park, say it's for team building and give it a funky name or a motto... and boom! They become a Very Senior Person. - Zero work/life balance. You must be available 24/7.

- It was a struggle to spend time in such a monotonous and mundane role. - I was sold this role to be a product role, but this is a pure Operations role. - Do not be fooled when asked / told about strong analytics required etc, you would most likely end up answer to angsty folks in sales teams and doing customer service. Please spend your time in a core role, it is where you'd have value in Facebook. It is easy to feel rudderless in this role (no matter what is told to you during your interviews). Employees in non-support / core roles are valued in the company, unfortunately this team and its immediate umbrella organization is not one of them.
