Humanity has never seen a vaccination campaign like covid. This is first of its kind, to this scale assuring safety would have been the first foremost for all who would have worked on this vaccine. We have to trust.

Yes, large companies work this way. I think you are person who does not want to waste your time for the sake of slow process. Staying longer will make you feel less confident of yourself. If it was me I would look for another fast paced startup or medium sized company.
Worked with a huge monoliths, business critical, predictable usage, easy debugging, deployment simple, onboarding quick even with less documentation.
Worked with microservices, business critical, predictable usage, less documentation here onboarding took long time spent on how it works, Hard to debug, never needed to scale up. (Why microservices ? )
Lessons learnt:
Problem is never with the architecture. Why you choose one over the other is the question to ask when you start on.
This is my suggestion, learn any language of your choice. 1. Build a crud web application , 2. Build a product which you want to use for yourself. Start working in a team .
Value of data owned by FB is precious today and this still growing in value. The problem is as a user you are taken for granted. You have no information as a user on what research studies your data is used or will be used in the future. I do not think FB realizes the ethical responsibility of holding such valuable data.
Totally agree with you, most of the time founders are not aware this is happening down the ladder. I have seen this scenario with the middle layer management protecting their jobs and gate keeping in most companies today.
Either the founder isn't aware, then they just get egulfed in the new culture until they have, at some point, no power left. Or they are among the worst of the pack and drive the new culture. Given that Zuck somehow managed to retain 50+% of voting rights until now, I would put him in the second group. Jeff would be the same.
And then you would have the truly exceptional people, that manage to combine the ruthless drive needed to grow a successful company, care about their people and have the capabilities to keep those bad actors out, or at least in check. I saw maybe 1.5 of these people in management functions, middle management that is. Not sure of those black swan unicorns exist as founders so.
Facebook cannot be compared to any other industry. Facebook's ethical problems is not about the services they provide, it is about the quantity of data collected with consent(ignorance). I hope everyone working inside is ethical as believed by the upper management.
>Facebook cannot be compared to any other industry.
As far as ethics? As deplorable as Facebook is, there are way worse industries. The defense industry just made trillions murdering people in Iraq and Afghanistan for 20 years for starters, and that's trillions from middle and lower class Americans and the sons and daughters too. I think someone calculated that Afghanistan alone cost $300 million a year for 20 years. That's alot of money taken away from the betterment of the country: schools, safety nets, infrastructure, a lot of things that were neglected. The incarceration industry also comes to mind. I'm sure I can think of others if you asked.
This innovation opens up new ways of UX and human machine interaction. Just curious about the long term effects of externally controlling neuron signals.
