The culture is a bit different in different offices. Most of the stress from working at FB is from your twice yearly perf reviews, where managers have to go and argue with other managers over what rating their direct reports' performance deserves. If your manager is not assertive or does not have much clout, doesn't really like you, doesn't get to give their shpeal before all the "exceeds+" are given out, or simply gets paired with one or more a-holes, then all that shit is going to roll downhill (your meets expectations will turn into a meets-most, and you will have a PIP in front of you soon for example).

Cultural differences in conflict, negotiation, and corporate drive can make this more or less stressful for the managers and as a result for the employees. As such, you can predict more stress in the US and less in Europe+Canada. The Irish office for example is a bit more laid back but also can be more passive aggressive.

Per decision making around immoral things, all those decisions happened in the US when I worked there.
