Money can't buy me love

Anonymous employee

Pros

You'll make a ton of money. The salary, stock, bonus, and perks are generous. If you only care about your resume and your bank account, this is the place for you. It's easy for anyone to be tempted by the zeros in an offer from Facebook, especially if you're young and you think life is all about money.

Cons

You might make a lot of money at Facebook, but it will come at a cost. Your health, your relationships, and your self-esteem will suffer. You'll wake up five years later, with a lot of money, but you'll hardly recognize the person in the mirror. The culture is unhealthy and it will change you for the worse.

I'm disheartened to hear this. We have many avenues for support especially if you are going through a tough time such as EAP services, internal support groups, Life@ team, and your HR Business Partner. We also have learning and development courses and coaching to help assess career strengths and passions. Whatever it may be, I urge you to seek support and focus on what brings you meaning. Please let us know how we can help.

A little too dynamic for their own good

Pros

- Open, positive culture (it really is): goals are assigned to you at the beginning of the half mostly basis your strength areas - Opportunity to work with one of the industry leaders in online media - the platform and its underlying are a tech enthusiast's dream -Not a 'hire and fire' company. They really care about their employees. - Lavish, almost extravagant benefits: you can get spa massages reimbursed, for instance.

Cons

- Facebook feels like a young and aggressive teenager. Granted, its prime focus is to grab a bigger slice of pie from Google but that seems to be driving its entire business strategy. - Hyderabad undergoes re-orgs way too frequently, which has resulted in mass attrition with several senior managers moving on. - Under-hiring talent: There is no difference between the role/designation of an ISB MBA with 3 years of solid work ex and an undergrad fresher from a local college. HR needs to work out this motivational deterrent else attrition is set to rise. - Inverted pyramid hiring in the sales team: Way too many senior and mid-level managers are being hired as individual contributors for roles that are given to college grads in other locations. Limited growth opportunities because of this.
