Worst/ Non- existent Management! Pseudo organization

Pros

Interesting work/projects since it's onsite at Facebook

Cons

There is actually no Management, This organization does not care about it's employees, they simply need more people to fill in the projects they support at Facebook and get them billed just to make more money by taking a good chunk of the pay rate that is actually given. This so called organization exists only onsite at Facebook which is why there is no job security because Facebook can lay off this entire organization anytime if they are at loss.

Pros

- You get to work for Facebook: Even though you are only a 'contingent worker' in FB's system, the experience and the big title you get, especially as a new grad, is incomparable to the difficulties if you were to apply to Facebook as a full-time employee. - Some teams get exciting works: I was doing work in Facebook's ARVR domain. You may get an Oculus Quest device for QAs and programming. Another way to boost your resume.

Cons

- Your job is NOT very secure: Since Lodestone is a contracting firm working with Facebook, if Facebook suddenly decides to wipe out a few teams and you happen to be on one of them, you either have to transfer to another staffing agency (sometimes you may have to be interviewed) or be laid off. - Some work is very tedious and repetitive: Think about it as a way Facebook outsources the work their FTEs don't want to do/dont' have time to do, so works that involve human annotations and reviews are quite tedious. If this job is really your only opportunity, better make sure to equip yourself with some technical skills in programming so that hopefully you won't be assigned to teams doing boring stuff. - Pay is bad: $65k base for a data quality analyst, which is unimaginable if you have to relocate to the Bay Area.

Pros

Nothing as such to mention

Cons

Nothing new to learn. Stunted growth, office politics, promotion for bootlickers
