Thinkin about calling off a round 3 Facebook interview I have. I’m finding it hard to go to sleep at night thinking about being part of a company that is driving disinformation at a mass scale. Am I crazy for thinking that?

No you’re not crazy. It’s called instinct. Trust it.
We spend so much of our waking hours at work, it should be for a company you’d enjoy & be proud of.

I’ve spent some time in Silicon Valley. There are very few Black people key decision making roles and overall.

I think OP’s concern is valid. Walking away is an easy out. The real work is to show up and be a part of company that has enough influence to shape the views of society.

Facebook book is a powerful force, and I believe people with good intentions should ALWAYS be at the table.

Ultimately OP. It is your decision.

I don’t believe the solution is to walk away from the table. We need good people at the table.

🤔 perhaps you should drop out if you feel like this.

Not sure what position/function you’re applying to, Interview #3 could still be pretty early in the process.

Doubt your lone decision/ rationale for dropping out will mean much or anything to the recruiting team and/or FB as a whole.

I’m sorry OP. There’s a now tinge of arrogance at least prudeness.

If somewhere between your willful and voluntary application you now feel like this. You should drop out.

I think several people on this bowl will be gracious to have the same opportunity. No need to drag it out if you made your decision already.

You're not crazy. Losing a good candidate would sting them. Then again, don't turn around later and be mad that finding a FAANG exit is so hard. Plenty of people, maybe including me depending on the role, would love to have that interview opportunity.

PM1 - I say buzzwords because that’s what they are. Very few teams and companies actually are making strides in hiring & retaining BIPOC. Right now it’s still a PR move to seem like they care.

Do what makes you sleep at night! Conscience>The Almighty 💵

Be the change you seek. Go in there and try changing it.
