I don’t know if I’d define Facebook as a “social media company” in 2018 but sure

They pay amazingly well and the benefits are best in the business. On the other hand, you’re working for the devil, and you have to be prepared to drink the kool-aid.

@OP fair enough. Not sure which agency discipline you’re in, but I wouldn’t get too over confident. That’s also not the company culture. What is a part of the company culture is asking questions and being open to what you don’t know. I would take some time with the open rec’s on careers@, see what feels best, and then reach out to a friend to ask the question, what the hiring manager is like, culture, etc That might also help with your vision at the company

Depends on the role and what you’re being asked accomplish.. analytics? Client partner? Creative strategist? The culture is amazing but very different and you have to be on-board. Did you get an offer or just applying?

Wha would you define Facebook as op?

“The devil?” Why?

@digitas - I’d call Facebook a media company. Tons going on there from messenger to Instagram to occulus to original programming and live streaming professional sports etc

@freelance and creative strat: haven’t applied yet. I know enough people there that I’m confident I could at least get an interview pretty easily but I’m not sure which type of role I’d want (other than not sales) and I don’t want to exploit a relationship if I’m not sure I want to make a move there.

I’m in planning but I started my career out as a writer.

@account supervisor - because their product is destabilizing our society and making people miserable. Because they pretend to be this values-driven company that “cares” about you when that couldn’t be further from the truth. They constantly introduce features that are the opposite of what people want (not silly things like reskins, things like algorithms on instagram). They don’t listen to anyone anything says until it’s such a major issue that it disrupts elections, and even then it’s a year and a half too late. They “move fast and break things” which is a fucking irresponsible mantra when much of the world uses your product for hours per day.

NOTHING they do has a positive impact.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
