Naomi Gleit, who has worked at Meta longer than any other current employee, spoke to the BBC about her career, artificial intelligence, and why she considers her position a dream job. She has weathered numerous scandals and crises but has remained loyal to the company.

Naomi Gleit is Meta's longest-serving current employee and has seen the company through numerous turbulent periods. In a recent interview with the BBC, she spoke candidly about her work, the impact of artificial intelligence, and why she continues to love her position.

Decades at Meta

Gleit joined the company early on and has since navigated multiple crises and scandals that have significantly affected Meta's reputation. Despite a complex history, she describes her job as a "dream job" — a phrase she used when explaining to the BBC journalist the influence she is able to exert within the company every day.

Artificial intelligence is currently of paramount importance to Meta. Gleit acknowledged that AI is significantly changing employees' daily work and that the company is investing substantial sums in developing this area. She found that artificial intelligence does not completely eliminate jobs, but substantially changes what people do at work.

Zuckerberg and workplace culture

Gleit also touched on her relationship with Mark Zuckerberg, whom she has known closely for decades. She described Zuckerberg as a leader who has changed and grown considerably over the years. According to her, the company culture has always been fast-paced and demanding, but it is precisely this that keeps her motivated.

In recent years, Meta has faced criticism over privacy, the moderation of political content, and the ethical questions surrounding artificial intelligence. Gleit acknowledged that some periods have been personally difficult, but she believes in the company's mission to connect people.
