      Pros

      The Rooftop Park: MPK 20 and 21 feature a massive 9-acre elevated roof garden with walking trails, quiet nooks, and native plants—perfect for "walk-and-talk" meetings. "Main Street" Vibe: The Classic Campus resembles a town center, complete with various shops, a sweets shop, and an arcade. Service Perks: On-site services include a barber/hair salon, dry cleaning and laundry (though now for a fee), and bike repair shops to keep you moving.

      Cons

      Stack Ranking & "Met Some": The performance review system (PSC) is rigorous. In recent years, even "Met Some" (a mid-tier rating) has been a trigger for termination in some orgs as the company prioritizes moving out "low performers." "Post or Die": There is an internal culture of "posturing" on Workplace (Meta's internal social network). Employees often feel they must constantly post updates to prove their impact to leadership, which can lead to performative work rather than deep focus. AI-Driven Metrics: Starting in 2026, Meta has explicitly tied performance reviews to "AI-driven impact," requiring employees to demonstrate how they are using or building with AI to remain competitive.
