Disclaimer, I haven’t worked for FB, but here’s what I’ve heard from friends who are there now: seems to be pretty fast paced with everyone ‘on’ all the time / High performing personalities. Better WLB than consulting or amazon but you def won’t be working 35 hours a week unless you’re lucky

Did a SWE internship there, many friends there still (SWEs and data engineers, can’t speak for other roles).
The up and out is very real. The wlb is way better hours wise, but work (by its nature) is more intense than consulting, so similar stress.
I switched recently - it’s definitely not 35 hrs/ week. The big benefits I’ve seen are you can push back more to protect time or not do unnecessary stuff (ie not so much doing stuff because the partner or director says so) and no bs reinvest / jumping through the firms hoops.
