Does Facebook have similar policies? What's the level of transparency there?

[fishnchips]

That sort of information is readily available to Facebook employees as well as widely distributed. But for example engineering levels are secret.

I was more interested in knowing the level of transparency on a day-to-day basis on metrics such as usercount, revenue, etc. you know, stuff that could get you in a bind for insider trading.

[fishnchips]

User count - yes; revenue - I honestly don't know. There are quiet periods for restricted stock units for when you might know more than the market. When then quarterly numbers are out the blackout period ends and you can trade your stock. It's been like that in every publicly traded US company I've ever worked at.

What does "engineering levels" mean?

[lacker]

When someone gets promoted at Facebook, that fact is generally not shared. There isn't a big list of "who just got promoted".
