Internal docs show how Facebook calculates the number of engineers needed and how it has struggled to recruit talent, missing recruitment goals in 2019 and 2021
and surprised to see no mention of obvious reputational factors. If you work at FB and have evidence of how the scandals are impacting recruiting (as I hear anecdotally all the time) get in touch. https://twitter.com/... Ian Guider / @ianguider : @william_fitz With a stranglehold on voting shares, why does anyone think there'll be a single repercussion from any of these scandals. Kat Scott / @kscottz : Every decent senior engineer I know has told @Facebook to go fuck themselves.

You don't have to take the job. You don't have to build the machine. And if enough people don't do it, it won't get done. https://twitter.com/...

@meganmorrone Interesting - I know quite a few engineers and PMs, myself included, who have told FB's recruiters to not contact them. It's one of the only companies I know of that this topic comes up frequently.

Today I had a discussion with a friend who was considering Facebook and then he said, “I'm not sure how this would look on my resume” https://twitter.com/...
“Missing our engineering hiring goals was a big problem, and Mark made it clear he didn't want a repeat performance in 2020.” Internal docs show how Facebook has been struggling to hire engineers. @anna_c_kramer dug in. Full doc at the bottom. https://www.protocol.com/...
