Current Meta employees — how are you feeling about the company in 2026?
From the outside, it feels like it’s been a pretty intense year:
Massive AI restructuring and team reshuffles
Recent layoffs and role changes
Huge push toward AI-first across the company
More internal pressure to move faster
Leadership openly saying some AI plans haven’t gone as expected
For those still at Meta, what’s the atmosphere actually like?
Has morale changed? Are people optimistic about the AI direction, or is there more uncertainty than before? Has your day-to-day job changed significantly?
I’d especially love to hear from women and people who’ve been at Meta for a few years—has the culture shifted in any noticeable way?
Not trying to stir up drama. Just interested in hearing firsthand experiences rather than headlines.
