A company in incredible turmoil. Would not want to be there now. Morale must be brutal.

Almost everyone says turmoil and bad morale is the default at Meta. The default is lots of turf-protection, project stealing, and backstabbing. It will probably get worse with these news coming out.

Recently I've also heard of teams having very little amount of time to prove themselves before they get reorg'ed - which might be one of the reasons that their progress on AI has been slow.

The only person I know that is happy at Meta is someone who works at one of the acquisitions. That specific acquisition doesn't seem to have been infected by Meta's culture too much for now.

I just hope other CEOs don't see this and get antsy about following suit.

It was always rough, but this is by far the worst I've ever seen or heard. The thrash and org maneuvering are feral.
