Why I left my Facebook design job *the honest truth*

What you described seems to be a norm in a corporate world. Working for a startup or a small growing company might be much more rewarding on so many levels: more opportunities to contribute (and be appreciated for that) as well as to learn from others (usually amazing people).

The bigger the company gets, the harder it is to keep "family-like" values, and it turns to be more like a military hierarchical structure.

Thanks for posting this. Also important to what you’re speaking about: is knowing when something isn’t right, and when to walk away. A lot of advice online is to “stick” it out; that “everyone” is unhappy in a new job “at first”.... but it’s just as important to trust your gut, know yourself, and be honest about your situation and your ability to thrive in your new job. It’s only a mistake if you don’t learn from it, and life is too short! We spend so much time at work and deserve to be happy. Thanks again!

That hits close to home: being surrounded by experienced team members who do things quickly so they get the high impact work. Yes, it is not a business's job to train me but it is mutually beneficial for me to be on a path where eventually I can be that person too. It's hard for that to happen when deadlines are always tight and priorities frequently change.

Designer at Facebook here, I agree with what you said :).

[@typicalbits]

Does Facebook hire entry level designers? Because it seems like whenever I look into their careers section they need like 3-4+ years experience.

[@jdm4087]

@@typicalbits I'm not a designer, but am at Facebook. Keep in mind that big companies like Facebook, Google, etc are big and highly desired for a reason. They get thousands of applications a week, and they're able to cherry pick the best of the best. Not saying it's impossible, but it's highly unlikely a Hiring Manager will want to hire someone that is fresh out of school with little to no job experience. And depending on the position, have little to no side projects (personal and/or school) to help them. Not trying to be negative, but it's reality. Just focus on building experience, and then apply or get a referral some years later. These companies will still be here in the future anyways.

How about the scale? Changing even just one line on the main page impacts billions of people. You can design a startup product alone and not get a real impact on the world because of the absence of such a scale.

Honestly, don't be afraid to put a higher price on your packages because you're giving away GOLD.

[@InsideCorporatePlaybook]

WOW! This is such a genuine and to-the-point video from a young professional. I am an HR and I wanna tell you that what you have described is very typical to large organizations. Also, managers won't let inexperienced candidates express their wishes nor add a blueprint to the whole work just because you are a promising employee that hasn't proved anything yet. Working for such big corporations requires certain types of employees to thrive there and it will save a lot of time thinking over what possibly went wrong and should an employee regret leaving such a "fantastic" company is to remember ONE SIZE DOESN"T FIT all. It's great you realized it just after 3 months and your previous employer was happy to have you back. This is rare! Looking 4ward to your next videos, I share your vision. By the way, talking to HRBPs is not the best decision when you need help with your new job. in 90% of the time (unless there's NO obvious breach of law), they won't side with you. Rather, they will work on getting rid of employees who don't share corporations' values from the beginning in the safest way to avoid legal risks.

I find it very useful advice not to talk to company's HRBP in case you are having doubts about your current job or you are not on the same page with company's values or practices. Many people should be reminded that internal HR unit is about keeping order in the company and avoiding legal troubles, not helping individual employees.

Its nice to see how supportive your viewers are. If only people were like this in real life. Where I'm from, if someone announces that they left a big company, people give this ugly look 🤨. Everyone starts asking nosy questions to find out if you actually got fired. Perhaps my exposure to such cynics is why I slightly doubt your story. To have a big KZbin channel and say, "I got fired from Facebook" requires a lot of courage. Perhaps you truly did leave it for the reasons you mentioned. Anyways, all the best for your next ventures. 👍

[@livininabubble]

I totally understand what you mean with the growth and valuation aspect in a smaller company or startup. That's also why I'm not sure if I can work in a non-startupy company ever again 😅... I'm not a designer but a developer and work closely with product, design and marketing - and it's that mix that I really like and I was allowed to kinda grow into. In a startup you're usually just more integrated in the whole process and able to learn new things outside the skill you may have been hired for. Whereas in a big company with major hierarchies it's really hard to grow or be valued if you're more of a generalist or want to evolve some new skills outside of your job description. Kinda sad, but I guess it just depends on what type you are and where you feel more at home.

[@paulgoode]

Good summary! Glad you called out "The Social Dilemma" but... definitely recommend looking up "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism." I wonder if designers might see UX's role of keeping users active/engaged while FB figures out how to manufacture new products/experiences from all the (seemingly throwaway) data they swipe from users and their networks. We're all just disposable compared to their social, political and economic aims. They want power and no-one to stop them. Loved that you caught on quickly and found a path out!

[@Tantacrul]

That sucks. Does sound like your assessment was spot-on though. You'd likely have felt much worse if you'd stayed for an additional 12 months. Bravo for getting out quickly. I interviewed for FB in London back in 2017 (I was working at Microsoft at the time but was getting quite bored). After my first interview, I met some head of something, who gave me a breakdown of what I'd be working on if I got the job... boring ad templates! I said "C-YA" and didn't even bother finishing the interview process. Found the whole place noisy, dull and hyper corporate.

[@anantsharma5330]

Thanks Chunbuns. It reminds me the job I left on same day of joining. Workculture, people you're working under and how top-down you're as a problem solver, MATTERS. It's really hard to suggest a thought, what whole space is not gonna think like that.

[@esthermao26]

Thank you for sharing. I can relate 100%. These are same reasons, more or less, for why I left Intel after only 4 months. Leaving a company is truly like breaking up with someone in a relationship. Sometimes, it’s no one’s fault. It’s just not a good fit, and that’s okay :)

Loved this video as a person who doesn't work at Facebook, but rather on it. You point about diversity is a very good one. At one point, I was put in contact with a Facebook person dedicated to diversity on the platform. Specifically funding black creators. I contacted them within a week and they were no longer employed at Facebook. I honestly hate the platform in my personal life and I can't justify it in my professional life (even though my page used to reach 4million people per day). The amount of bullshit I dealt with on the platform... just not worth it. I don't think they care about diversity. I think they care about appearing that they do.

I think some places work for other personalities of course, but there is nothing like a company that has your back and relationships that are healthy before, during, and after the job are what I strive for!

The priority and major decisions were all taken by others and I as a designer didn't have much say in it. No female colleagues in leadership positions that I could look up to or learn from. Since we're working from home, it felt like I was just a robotic machine working 12hrs a day and yet not creating any impact. Needless to say, my motivation and mental health took a dip and I too called it quits. 🙈

Web design touches some aspects of UX but there’s so much more to UX that’s outside of web design. My take on the future of web design is that it will continue to become more automated and templatized vs. I don’t believe UX design will be replaced by algorithms and templates any time soon.

I guess everything is relative. Your Facebook job would have been paradise compared to my stint at Boeing, working in graphics. First of all, our office was directly above a diesel truck refueling station. I worked 2nd shift when trucks were being refueled. Fumes would rise up and employees were getting so sick, they were passing out. I told my Lead I was going to report this to HR and OSHA. He said, “Go ahead, you’ll be fired the next day.” On top of that, the manager was a nightmare, degrading most of his employees. And it was made clear to everyone that there was no opportunity for advancement. This was back in the 1980’s. I quit as soon as I could find a better job. Other employees said I was crazy to leave, given all the benefits. The culture at Boeing had brainwashed them into living in fear and believing they could never find a better job. After all, we were making around $2K a month + medical!

Facebook was my most toxic job by far. I was traumatized by my experience there and still have trauma 5 years later. It was great for my resume but terrible for my mental health. My issue with Facebook is that they have so much money that whatever work you do is not very significant. It's not a meritocracy, it's more about who you know and how well you suck up to them. And I definitely had an issue being a dark skinned indian woman.
