Meta Software Developer reviews

- Forced RTO even though there's not enough desks or meeting rooms. No flexibility and days in office are tracked - Arbitrary, internally imposed deadlines create fake pressure to deliver substandard work output - AI push from the top including quotas for AI generated code. Hard shift to unproven AI native culture. Internal forum is full of AI generated posts - Everything is bespoke, including non-standard programming languages, databases, and source control - Leadership is evil and ineffective - Pay is not that good anymore and recruiting will down level you and low ball you, which is the start of the abusive relationship this company has with its employees now. - Performance culture is bad. Constantly looking for scope and impact to put on airs so you don't get piped - Frequent layoffs are the norm now - Extensive workplace surveillance and monitoring. Management has many dashboards they can use to look at all aspects of your work. Always feels like you're being watched - Products are broadly anti-social or business failures. Doesn't feel like there's a vision for what this company should be producing in the near future
