Every day, people come to Facebook to connect with friends and family, discover what's going on in the world, interact with businesses, find potential customers, and build community. Facebooks Global Operations team exists to help them.
The Risk and Response team responds to real-time crises, proactively identifies and evaluates emerging risks, conducts risk-related investigations, and assesses what we could be doing to best benefit our community. We develop solutions to user issues, protect users by decreasing negative engagement on the site and deliver qualitative and quantitative insight into user behavior.
