Current FB employee. Opinions are my own.
For me, FB is a great place to work. It's easily the best in terms of comp, leadership caring about employee well-being, career advanced, internal mobility, that I've experienced in 20 years in the workforce. I'm around 40 years old, I work on challenging problems, and feel like I'm making a significant positive impact in the world.
HN is probably not a great place to get this information - I expect this thread will devolve quickly. I suggest you work w/ your FB recruiter to connect with current FB employees, so you can ask them directly - there's a program where you can shop for a current employee who will answer any/all questions you have.
If you put an email in your profile, I'd be happy to connect.
- fberthrowaway 5y agoFollowup - FB is very family friendly! Most teams are developing their remote work policies, and I frequently hear discussions around coordinating meeting times so they aren't setup during school dropoff/pickup times. The company also has generous parental leave policy (4 months, dads also get this). There are other benefits and policies that specifically address parental challenges, and the health care coverage has blown both my and my partner's minds with how good it is.
