A once exciting place to work took a huge dive
Pros
First, I want to say that when I started the culture was healthy, energetic and hopeful. There are a lot of fantastic, intelligent people on this team eager to prove themselves and work hard. They are what made this company. Also an incredible product dedicated to saving lives is amazing to be a part of.
Cons
Unfortunately, the months leading up to and during covid-19 has shown the company's true values. They always spoke about how we were a family.... not so much when they cut extended benefits with NO NOTICE. They didn't give any sense of care to employees when we started working from home. HR works a full-time other job and only works for Meta on evenings and weekends, which is a perfect demonstration on how little the company values employee health. They have made a place for students and those fresh out of uni to gain experience while being comped at below market value (which is especially hard when living in vancouver) and then after a year most people leave for a better paying job. So it all depends on what you're looking for. Long term, there's about 3 young people that intend to stick around for good. When you quit they aren't even surprised (at one point we had people quitting on a weekly basis). They're so used to it they don't even ask what they can do to keep you or why you're leaving. They just accept it, don't contact you in the 2 weeks you have remaining or even start looking for a replacement (either cause they can't afford it and will pile the work on someone else or just don't care anymore). To add insult to injury they fudge their employee feedback on Glassdoor. If you look at the history, over half of them were published at the same time cause HR kept badgering everyone to do it. Bottom line: great for the short term and experience, not much else.
