An Exclusive Look Inside Facebook’s Engineering Office In London

My college also had incomplete ceilings, I think they just ran out of money during construction.

so those are the guys who share our information

[@akshaysingh1538]

you mean sell

[@coroutinedispatcher]

Facebook is the only company who is known for sharing our data. I still think that all of them do that. Once your are logged in, your are theirs for life.

[@walterantonioalbaan5452]

@@internet4543 its a joke :) relax

[@asherujudo7383]

@Some Not just those. Literally every website that asks you to accept cookies is sharing your data. In fact, I once read a news article criticizing Facebook data privacy on a website that requested I accept its ridiculous cookie settings. It was doing the exact same bullshit as Facebook but it wasn't calling itself out. The hypocrisy is astounding.

If I got hired everyday I'd say, if you need me, I'll be in the sleep chamber. Until I got fired. Then I'll build my own sleep chamber.

[@SerBallister]

Looks like a giant nursery, for adults.

[@ConquerJS]

Yeah I'm all about not having to wear suits, and having a game room and some fun perks but the whole goddamn office looks infantilized. I still want to feel like an adult when I come to work.

Thank you for this insight. Very interesting. 👍🏼

Didja get to the room where they negotiate our privacy to the highest bidder?

[@lIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI]

These videos always seem to conveniently forget that the entire reason for having all these amenities on-site is so you don't have to "waste" time traveling for lunch or whatever else you may need to get done so the workers spend more time working.

[@yazvan4103]

At least, you dont need to walk too much for do anything you need😂

[@SA-nb2df]

That's a good enough reason. Last job I had, did crazy hours , & finding food was a problem. My health deteriorated & I started hating my job more.

No, its not paid off your data, FB makes money from social marketing and advertising... our data are mere peanuts maid ;)

[@randomuser66438]

@@solomonshilaluke5980 Take a look at Facebook's advertising platform and the myriad of ways they use to target the right audience for your ad campaign, then stop and think if all of that could possibly work without tracking all you steps throughout the internet, not to mention inside Facebook (which includes you private conversations, btw).

[@solomonshilaluke5980]

@@randomuser66438 I agree with you 100% with no doubt... thing is we tell them were to find us when they need to, I mean its not rocket science that if your browse history is full of cars for instance, if thats the case then all the car ads will pop up on your sessions everytime you visit FB site. Same applies when you enable ur location on your device and let that app access it you will then get ads in the local area, you check in at your nearest airport then ads about car rentals and cheap flights will show up. All I wanted to say is, they dont make money off our data those companies advertising at FB have already paid big cash for that :p

[@SiisKolkytEuroo]

Which part of the office do I think I would be using the most? The part where my work desk is, if there even is one

[@arjundevchoudhary2585]

Free cafe!!! I want something like this!! I loved the free food idea the most..🖤💚

[@VleiRatFilms]

Very interesting video .. I would like to think there is an alternative to the "more of the same" crap we avoid daily on radio stations .. But you have to keep looking online till you find something you like or tap in to songs your friends like and share. You have to be quite aggressive to find real good stuff though.

[@lkafi]

I would be definitely be using the kitchen and the sleeping pod the most.

[@TheRealAlas]

In this whole video of "engineering office" I haven't seen a single engineer or an engineering office. They have howere shown a "recruitment team" office which is just HR. I liked the Infra team especially, which seems to be one lady sitting on a bean bag with a laptop, it actually makes sense considering how stable FB is.

it might be for a reason actually, privacy and compliance policies etc.
