Some people who have moral or political objections to working for Meta. Those are perfectly valid, although Meta's potential pay is sufficiently huge that taking a stand can be a really rough thing to do. A successful internship can lead to a job that, within a few years, is paying life-changing amounts of money, often multiple times anything their parents collectively made. But presumably that's not your objection. You may be worried about whether OTHER people will judge you, but I wouldn't worry about it. Professionally, nobody's gonna snub your resume because you worked for Facebook. "Meta is a sinking ship" is not a great reason to ignore this internship opportunity. That's because the skills Meta will train you own are valuable even if Meta fails. If you do this internship, start a career at Meta, and then six months from now it suddenly and surprisingly shutters, you'll personally still be in a great position. Jumping ship to another FAANG company, joining a smaller company with Meta on your resume, or starting your own company with an expanded professional network and a better understanding of what good engineering is are all options. Also, the likely upcoming failure of Meta's VR ventures will not ruin Meta. These large companies frequently make bets that are fairly unlikely to work. Often they fall on their face, but sometimes they succeed beyond anyone's wildest expectations.
