Maybe unpopular. I definitely would work there for the right role.
Besides all of the negative attention the company has drawn, they've also done a lot of good for the world that mostly goes unrecognized. I wouldn't be with my wife and have my family if it weren't for Facebook.
They're also invested in future tech which has great potential to be a net good for humanity. A lot of their open source and research gets released for public use.
I rejected a down-level offer from Meta a couple of years ago and I sometimes wonder if that was the wrong move.
