Facebook Reviews

Cons

Challenging performance reviews, heavy work weeks

Cons

Salaries are not nice .

Cons

Need to maintain a high energy all the time. Hard for introverts to work at.

Cons

- Facebook feels like a young and aggressive teenager. Granted, its prime focus is to grab a bigger slice of pie from Google but that seems to be driving its entire business strategy.

- Hyderabad undergoes re-orgs way too frequently, which has resulted in mass attrition with several senior managers moving on.

- Under-hiring talent: There is no difference between the role/designation of an ISB MBA with 3 years of solid work ex and an undergrad fresher from a local college. HR needs to work out this motivational deterrent else attrition is set to rise.

- Inverted pyramid hiring in the sales team: Way too many senior and mid-level managers are being hired as individual contributors for roles that are given to college grads in other locations. Limited growth opportunities because of this.

Cons

not really great in terms of compensation

Cons

1. A lot of Hierarchy in India office
2. Difficult to maintain work life balance

Cons

The contract hiring policy is not that great the way contractors are treated is not very positive , they should work in this sphere

Cons

Current Management
Work life balance as you would have late meetings
Transparency

Cons

1. The Hiring department of the company is below par. Only importance is given to Work experience not essentially in the area of expertise required. Employees coming from Premier graduation and Post graduate insitutes are considered at the same level as that of candidates from local institutes(probably done to save cost of relcoation, not expected of such a big brand)
2. The talent across Hyderabad floor and across international offices (I have visited 2) are extremely mediocre, essentially because of point number 1.
3. The attitude of collaboration and working as a team, is severly lacking in most hires in the company.
4. The middle and senior management is hogwash and power rests in the hands of 1/2 managers who play office politics well.
5. Middle level managers are totally impotent, Because essentially they have no power which is attributed to managers in a usual organizational set up.

Cons

not too much really for the enterprises to use out of facebook hence it very hard to sell, mostly lacking innovation for enterprises.
