2009: Are you smart enough to be a Facebook engineer?

2019: Are you scummy enough to be a Facebook engineer?

This is so true. The way they are acting I feel like with people inclining towards "ethical" side of the spectrum leaving facebook and the culture is going to shift more and more into unethical.

[disgruntledphd2]

I feel like people have been saying this (lack of ethics amongst FB employees) for at least ten years.

[Avamander]

Because it has been true for at least ten years?

[yulaow]

honest question: do you think there was a moment in the history of facebook in which it was ethical, excluding the very beginning period?

[hoseja]

The very beginning? Doesn't the famous Zuck quote put even that into the scummy period?

[thecupisblue]

Well depends on what you define as the beginning period. I'd pinpoint the shift from 'ethical-ish' to 'unethical-ish' at about the time they changed feed from 'friends' to 'relevant for you' which is basically 'what our bidders want you to see'
