Joke aside, I've known many people throughout the years who ended up at one of the big tech companies. All very ambitious and smart people, very diverse.
Only those that went to Facebook (Meta, whatever) all seem to have a certain personality trait (hard to pin down exactly, I would even cautiously say, some small aspect of their psychological makeup missing or mildly broken, but definitely the same among all people I know who went there).
In this economy, I wouldn’t judge anyone who takes an offer at Meta if it means they can secure a home and a financial future for themselves. That’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for most people.
I have worked in all kinds of fields and you might be surprised to hear that the most openly psychopathic leadership I have ever experienced was in EDU
Meta may draw a certain type of person, but let’s not kid ourselves that they have a uniquely terrible culture. Just maybe one of the more influential.
