Why would you want to punish the lad with working at Meta?! He seems like a nice chap.

[tehlike]

I want to hire good people to the company i work for. Is that wrong?

[tehlike]

sorry, endofreach, i'll continue to call it Meta or Facebook interchangeably. One is company's legal name, and the other is its major product.

As for the evilness, i will not argue. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

For the OP in question, Facebook will provide the best career launch pad, so i will continue to suggest that. I have been to Google and Facebook, so can compare the two.

[endofreach]

Yes, facebook is an evil corporation.

Also: stop calling it meta everyone. Don't let them get away with such a poor away to hide their past & also claim a powerful word like that.

Let's provide solutions in addition to criticisms.

What would you recommend OP applies for?

What are the pros and cons of the option that you suggest vs. the alternative?

[91bananas]

A company working on physical products that solve real world needs is where I have found solace.

[melagonster]

why? op is young, needs more money.

[ClimaxGravely]

Why? did they say that elsewhere in this thread?

[mewpmewp2]

Why are they evil? And if someone wants to do good for the World, why not join an evil corp to inflict change from within?

[DANmode]

Not for your goals, seemingly no.

[DANmode]

I didn't realize you were offering help with internship/apprenticeship.

Carry on. OP, definitely cut your teeth in a place like that!

Everywhere else afterward will likely feel like a vacation, in comparison.

I assume Meta has a referral program where you receive a bonus if your referee gets hired.

[tehlike]

I personally do not care about that, that was not the reason I offered referral.

Same reason I referred very little number of people if any in the past.

[ClimaxGravely]

They do have a referral program and you would presumably benefit from that though? I'm honestly asking because I don't know.

[tehlike]

They do, yes. There are some rules around the attribution, like if recruiters have reached in some capacity in the past xx months without an outcome, you may still not get an award, I believe.
