What is the point of working at Facebook anymore. What are you accomplishing working for this company. It doesn’t even have much of a clear product anymore.

Must be nice to work for principles.
Gotta eat and new grads need their first jobs on their resume. (Assuming Meta is even hiring new grad roles.)
Their job postings required a lot of experience when I saw them on LinkedIn and indeed. Maybe they’ve lowered their standards. I just haven’t seen it considering they pay well into the $200k-$300k range.
places like meta,google requires quite extensive experience. grads have to try smaller tech.mid tech, but those seem to have vanished when they started laying off people in 23. if you are a fresh graduate in any stem/tech and are looking at the big tech/stem companies you are looking at the wrong place and setting up for disappointment/failure and might cause you to cherry pick, unless you can get int through nepotism or some how have 2+year experience before graduation, even then its very hard.
They pay well. The 'product' they've been obliterating their money with the last 6 years or so has been AR tech which has not really come to fruition because the full package is kind of impossible (how you gonna fit a battery in a pair of AR glasses?).
