This type of practice is what makes me not even consider FAANG jobs. I've (tactfully) told their recruiters I'm not interested; you'd have to pay me 500k minimum to even consider having to live on the west coast, dealing with their terrible work life balance, and having to worry about firing on top of everything else. Per this article, you could unknowingly have an expiration date on your employment. From personal contacts at Facebook, they specifically want you to get "needs improvement" on performance reviews to show that you're really pushing yourself; if you're doing well, you're not being pushed hard enough. I'm definitely not masochistic or interested in money/tech enough to work at a place like that.
