I don't really agree with this. I despise Facebook and happily retweeted a post a few weeks ago specifically aimed at helping FB engineers find work elsewhere.

I'd prefer to help good people get out of bad places. https://twitter.com/EricaJoy/status/1190701524210438144 https://twitter.com/EricaJoy/status/1190701524210438144

There is a perception that they hired tech employees just to show "growth" and therefore people haven't really done much real work.

Wow. You do realize most engineers have to work at far shittier companies and environments than FB? And for a lot less money.

  Then they should research the companies in the post and if they're interested in a change apply as well. No listing in that post is catering to an ex-FB employee by any means.

    It’s not about doing “research“. They would love to work at Facebook if they could. FB software engineer is a dream job for many outside of SV bubble, and even for many inside.

      It certainly was, nowdays its a bit more niche.
