Pros

Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner Pay is pretty good Well, you don’t die like in squid game just laid off.

Cons

Everything else Condense sucks. Unreadable code written by those who don’t want to give their job away, so intentionally confusing. Managers who were at right place right time. Mine literally got LUCKY with right timing and very limited experience. Directors even dumber — applied once every year for past 20 years and finally made it into Meta. So they hold onto the role like it’s no tomorrow. Colleagues squid game style competition. Work is meaningless — like piece of crap wrapped in sweet chocolate so you only see the chocolate at first. Stress cultures — if you’re not stressed you will be second hand stressed, ohh yeeeaaahhh! Everything is done with stress — it’s like replacing the coffee in the morning, because coffee is free. None of projects here make any technical sense. 2+2=5 because John said so.

Pros

Best compensation of the market, perks are really good still, landing impact for billions of people is pretty awesome.

Cons

No work life balance, 50+ work hours per week, a lot of stress and pressure. Morale is at all time low. Stack ranking has started this year so everyone is worried about their individual performance and collaboration has dropped a lot. Not the company it used to be 3 years ago.

Pros

Good pay Smart people Good (but gradually declining) benefits

Cons

The more recent changes in performance evaluation makes you feel like a crab in a box with other crabs. Incentives to just show busy work, keep scope for yourself instead of collaborating. The upper management is busy in empire building and fighting to keep a head count. People in Virtual Reality aren't really interested in VR except a few. They have lots of projects just to keep busy.
