> After the publication of this story, Harrison contacted CNBC to say “these numbers are totally wrong.”

> “Facebook regularly ranks high on industry lists of most attractive employers,” Harrison said in a statement. “For example, in the last year we were rated as #1 on Indeed’s Top Rated Workplaces, #2 on LinkedIn’s Top Companies, and #7 on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work. Our annual intern survey showed exceptionally strong sentiment and intent to return and we continue to see strong acceptance rates across University Recruiting.”

Perhaps it's best not to take a couple ex-recruiters word as blanket truth about company wide trends.

Of course, the article simply mentions this then goes straight back to asserting company wide morale problems, which is an interesting narrative to pursue, when that's not really what the majority of employees are feeling (which is further reflected by strong hiring numbers and low engineer attrition).



Also, every one of the metrics he cites there are of dubious value in terms of real-world meaning.
