1: I quit fb because the culture in the team I was on was toxic as fuck. Backbiting, backstabbing and oneupmanship. Ain't got no time for that. Fb does not need you and everyone makes it very known.
2: Dunno, dont read about FB since I gives no fucks about them.
3: The team I was on was stagnant as fuck. Lots of bragging but little showing.
4: Probably if you want to put the effort in to get noticed.
5: Cant say for sure, the question is largely subjective.
6: Definitely feels like a large bloated company to me.
7: Lots of politics. Blahhhh.
8: I work for a consulting company now. Much more freedom. Every project has huge impact and I make about 45% more than I made at FB with potential to accelerate my compensation by delivering sooner than deadlines.
TL:DR Fuck FB.
edit -- I worked at FB for two years.
- Jach 11y agoDid they try to keep you on board when you announced you were quitting, or was it the case of "okay, see ya" because they don't need you? My current company makes it very easy to switch teams at the boundaries of a release if you can find a team you want and that wants you (and has headcount), which is a lot easier than actually searching for a new job while still getting you out of toxic teams/hierarchies. I'm not sure how common this is at other BigCos.
