Pros

Overall, I enjoyed my time at Meta - amazing internal tooling, bottoms up culture. Experience will be highly dependent on your direct team/managers, but overall for a big tech company Meta is good if you want to work hard / have a shot at fast promotions

Cons

Product philosophy boils down to finding north star metrics and then pushing them up. Definitely some empire building middle managers.

Cons

Lots of teams / orgs that can be a bit of a pitfall. Some orgs really claw for scope Performance review process is more overhead than it should be
