      HR driven, rudderless company

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      95% of the people are fantastic. Life long friends. Pay and perks are great. The company (not some of the employees) tries to be inclusive. Facebook is a great platform, and the company, regardless of what the press says, is made up of a lot of ethical people that want to do the right thing.

      Cons

      Oppressive twice a year reviews that have employees turn on each other and management. Bottoms up leadership means there is no leadership. Zero direction, multiple people working on the same project in silos. Innovation hostile even though management talks about innovation all the time. If you are not young Asian, white or Indian you may be uncomfortable. The 5% of toxic employees do a lot of damage because there are so many nice people. My group, strange as it may seem is very conservative with a lot of ex-military. This mind set perhaps works for the military, but not a tech company in a rapidly changing world.

      HR Admin- Austin

      Hris analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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

      Unless you're a software engineer, DO NOT join FB

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
