Long hours (working across timezones around the world so early morning and late night meetings), Very high expectations during Covid (getting feedback on performance almost weekly) . Expectations of long hours is growing pain. As the company scales, toxic individuals are allowed to stay on teams.

Former Facebooker here - this is a loaded question as it varies greatly across the company by role and even by manager. It also depends if you want to get an average rating or one of the higher ratings.

What I can say is you’ll generally have more flexibility in your schedule (i.e., building in breaks during the day) and won’t really have to work on weekends unless there’s a fire or a big deliverable coming up.

Agree on the point above related to working with international teams. I loved that part of my job but that also means my earliest meetings would be at 7 AM PST and latest meetings closer to 8 PM PST (not the worst thing in the world).

I know a long day at Apple is 11-13 hours. Would kill for that right now and our Facebook friends seem to work even less.

Appreciate the comment B1. I do think working on interesting problems, with smart people, and to exit with more opps may outweigh the hours.

I’m at a FAANG and a long day is 10 hours

Would you mind providing a referral?

Does anyone have any insight into accounting roles at Amazon, particularly in the Arlington/DC area? An Amazon recruiter reached out about accounting roles, but the posts in this bowl are about Seattle. Trying to decide if the culture/wlb/pay is even worth looking into since it sounds like the interview process is intense. Base pay seemed pretty low in other posts, but they were a year old and for Seattle.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
