Pros

- Really enjoy the work and the team before May 20th 2026 (I get drafted into AAI) - Working at an infra team, probably one of the best team at Meta, really high impact projects - Great team, great work life balance - Got a manager who care about my personal life - The team get together in a big meeting room to have lunch and chat about everything every day.

Cons

- It's sucked to get drafted into AAI, it's not optional - AAI seems to have no scope, no impact for me, the work seems really boring

Pros

Preposterously high pay, pretty good perks, fairly flexible RTO policy at time of employment

Cons

Entire company worships at the altar of metrics, to the point where any and all work has to be metrics-driven, even if the work itself is obviously pointless or degrades value of the product itself. Engineering upkeep is wildly deprioritized as a result, and everyone is so constantly mortified of 6-month review cycle that anything that doesn't look good on them is completely tossed aside. Work life balance is dreadful, since someone is inevitably pulling all nighters to look good on their reviews, so if you aren't, you look bad by comparison. Company is also, obviously, super evil.
