Meta Research Reviews

*Disclaimer* These are things I saw during my time there, it might be different now. Check it out yourself. *wink* - Bad management : Checkout the other review, and you will realize the management is really bad. "Dictatorship", "Poor Management", bla bla bla... - Don't want to admit having customer support In this company, we don't have support! How incredible!!! Yes. All the Customer Support in this company are Software Developers (and also some Business team member.... Sometimes... ). Actual Software Developer. - Working after hours: You got to standby (as support) until night time, and you wouldn't get a single extra penny (or holiday) back for the time you lose in helping them support at night time. Because that's apparently your responsibility since it's your turn today (yeah, we have timetable for night time support. It's not shift, it's after work hours, get the difference) - Meetings... again...: Within one day, you are possible to be involved in 3-8 meetings, especially and not exclusively for seniors / team leads. And some of those meetings can be really pointless. When you need some decision from the upper levels, 99.5% chance they are in meeting, and the other 0.5% they are in toilet and going to meeting after finishing their business. - Conflicting Decision Making: We have two key decision maker, and sometimes they have different opinion on things. The key thing is, sometimes they didn't come up with a decision, and left the person asking hanging in the middle. You would have to ask again later, and hopefully you get an answer this time. - Asking interns to leave review before leaving the company (in jobstreet, unsure about glassdoor) (If you are intern and they ask you to write review here, take note of this, I have do yourself a favor and read the terms of use. "You may not coerce employees to leave reviews. Coercion includes asking employees to provide proof to an employer that they wrote a review whether or not that proof includes the content of the review itself.") - Rushing Release - Leaders that cannot decide - etc, etc.

ironically the other negative comments/ reviews that you see here are mostly all true. some notable mentions: -high turn over rate (many employees could not stand the management and most of them left without even securing a new job first, it's that bad) -dictator leadership style (you get treated differently if you do not agree with boss's opinions) -no KPI at all, employees get promoted/ raise solely based on boss's preferences -interns not getting tasks they are supposed to get (software engineering students getting production AND support tasks 80% of the time, NOT even QA tasks like other companies out there because Meta does not have QA, etc) -"A company without integrity"... a quick google search on Meta's main product on social media and you will see the full story. -no work-life balance (you are expected to standby for support, because management refuse to hire proper support team, or invest time and effort in fixing the existing problems in the products that caused all these problems in the first place) -interns forced to leave positive reviews on job searching sites (now that's some desperate measures) -micromanagement. again, this makes the working environment more hostile and toxic. -0 diversity. yeah, all Chinese in this company. So don't even bother applying if you are not.
