Employees of Facebook, what's it like to work there?

I was a former developer at Facebook. If you have the chance, watch YouTube techlead’s video on Facebook. He summarized it better than I can.

There’s a strong lack of management and high blame culture. “Empower engineers and focus on impact” is the motto there. Basically that statement has lead management to say “here’s something and go make something happen”

Directions are ambiguous and leadership has no vision and when things go right, they get all the credit but shit goes down, engineers get blamed.

Not to mention the ambiguity in the performance review. It’s highly political. My team judges engineer quality based on lines of code written and not quality of code. On top of that, there’s this weird pride/arrogance in everyone at Facebook.

Also, due to the lack of vision and direction of team, everyone is doing the same thing but different way. It’s just a terrible org structure.

I need to emphasize this point. This is a company wide thing and not a team thing. Everyone suffers this issue because mark sucker berg and Sheryl sandderp refuse to take any accountability for the culture and direction the company is going
