Not a Facebook employee but I did interview there. There are a few reasons why I would, personally, not want to leave had I accepted that offer. First are the people you get to work with. As I’ve progressed through my career, coworker tolerability is a huge must for me and they’ve managed to hire a lot of really good people. Second, which I can speak to from experience, a large tech company that can pay 150% your target salary at any other company with fantastic benefits, retirement, medical, etc is hard to leave (Golden handcuffs). Not everyone has the luxury to just up and quit a job just because the company appears to do unsavory things. As an aside, being in a large company, it’s hard to identify with a division different than your own. From the outside, you may see members of Facebook as equally complicit, but while inside you can always resolve cognitive dissonance by saying, “well that’s not _my_ team doing evil things, we’re trying to do good here.”
