Current FB employee. Former Employee @ a couple of other FAANG spots and a health care startup that promised to revolutionize the world, delivering medical attention to developing countries.

Facebook is a good place to work. They take care of the people. Benefits are great. None of the stinginess of Amazon. Apple was awesome too, btw. But FB is very employee first. Dark Patterns ? I don't know of too many teams that work on such stuff. When you go through bootcamp, make a selection that you are comfortable sleeping on. I did. And I am ok with that. Don't base your decisions on your neighbors' morals. Ask yourself how you would feel. I am comfortable with the choices I've made.I can go to sleep peacefully.

Worst case : Learn, move on if it doesn't work. Grow there if it does.

The worst place I worked at ? The health care startup revolutionizing the world. Terrible man/woman management all under the pretense of "Changing the world is hard work". I left bitterly disappointed with my experience.

How are you going to change the world , when you can't even be reasonable, kind and nice to fellow co-workers ?
