Pressure is too strong a word. I do get into discussions with friends and family on the topic.

That's mostly not accurate. Remember that these engineers can freely express their opinion internally or question Zuck live every week.
In machine learning and computer vision they are a very desired company to work at, at least on the research side of things (FAIR). They have very good people and world famous ones, lots of powerful hardware to work with etc. I'm sure they have no problem with recruiting brilliant people from all over the world.
How do you feel working at Facebook? Do you feel pressure from your peers on the outside about the moral compass of the company?
Maybe you can't answer these things if you aren't using a throwaway account, but I'm very interested in hearing how Facebook employees perceive the company themselves, as well as how they're treated by company outsiders.
My impression is that a lot of engineers are opposed to how Facebook operates and that this reputation must make recruiting and retention difficult.
