An ex-Meta employee said he had so little to do during his first few weeks as a full-time staffer that he went surfing on a work day
"There was just no guidance at all," the ex-Meta worker said of his less than two months at the company, when he was waiting to be placed on a team as an entry-level data scientist."I remember one day literally having absolutely nothing to do, and I just went surfing instead because I'm remote. I have no one to report to. It seems like no one knows I'm here."
Before receiving a full-time offer at Meta, the former employee was an intern at the tech company two summers in a row. He said the nature of the virtual internship made it difficult to grow in his career and he felt at least one of the projects he spent his time on was likely to never see the light of day. Though, unlike the full-time position, the worker said he had a clear role, check-ins with his manager, and received assignments to help fill his time.
"I didn't think the work we were doing was the most interesting or important," he added."But I was hopeful when I accepted the full-time offer that I'd be moving to a different area of the company.". A few weeks prior he had moved across the country to San Francisco to live near Meta's headquarters.
