Meta reviews

- Politics in international HQ - It's quite natural, but Irish seem to favor Irish because they realize that they are going to work together longer term compared to international employees. This leads to favoritism, which reflects in (unfair) performance reviews and promotions. - Arrogance - Facebook is always in news and a glamorous brand to be associated with. Some employees don't seem to handle this well and come across very arrogant. - Culture of Instant glorification - There is a culture of moving fast, which is not well understood by all. Oftentimes times, projects are celebrated at their inception, and brushed under the carpet if the results don't match the initial promise. Also, very often, you see people trying to grab credit of something they had no contribution in, but are in a good position to take credit. There are many such opportunities at Facebook since the product is great, the brand is well known and Facebook is still growing at a tremendous rate. So, sometimes it's frustrating to see people benefiting just by pretending to contribute.

Hard core environment, if you don't deal well with extra responsibility and require strong leadership instead of autonomy you probably won't have the best time
