You realize that Facebook is the highest rated company on the whole site?

They treat their engineers like rock stars[1]. It is a very intense environment though, in which not all personality types will flourish.

I think this is expected if you were to work in a company like Facebook.

It's a startup. It's unstable. So things like this bound to happen. They need to quickly change directions if required. People that don't align need to be removed.

I'm quite sure those special hiree would potentially have their own team hence becoming a tech-lead or some sort so they don't necessary work as a bottom-liner.

Don't you think that calling a seven-year-old company with thousands of employees a start-up dilutes the term a little bit?
