Anyone working there is a piece of shit. Can say that for the last decade too
Were you rejected by them? Or jobless and jealous?
Normal people work there, too, especially those who became meta employees through acquisutions.
No lol I’d never accept a job there. 10 years ago a previous coworker asked if id join and i let him know my string opinion, which has only been backed up since then by their terrible practices. Cambridge analytica, myanmar, lots of people have suffered. Zucc and team were shit early i can’t believe people still use their spyware and let their kids be manipulated. Also he sides with the trump fash trash
I'm aware of the shit Meta has done over the years, that's why I don't use their products.
But, back to the point, I've met people that work for Meta directly or under acquired companies that are doing beneficial stuff and making a good living doing it, including open-source development and accessibility research/development. You can be hardline but not everything is so black and white.
That's just nonsense. There are plenty of competent nice people working there. You can say that about leadership if you like.
No. They are all pieces of shit with no morals
Happy twelfth birthday!
