Facebook's idyllic, open campus hides a 6,000-person security force, sometimes armed, dedicated to guarding the social networking company's workers.
Among the third-party contractors it leans heavily on to provide security officers and intelligence analysts for its workforce are Allied Universal, G4S, and Pinkerton. Facebook also funds a Menlo Park Police Department substation near its offices, and works closely with local law enforcement and emergency services.
It's an"intelligence-based organisation," trying to sift through a flood of noise to identify and mitigate potential issues ahead of time, and it identifies millions of"threats" to the workforce every year, from natural disasters to threats of violence against employees, of varying levels of credibility.
The company emphasized speed and initiative; if something didn't quite work out, it could always be fixed later. But while this attitude might work effectively for developing apps, it doesn't fly in the rigid world of physical security, multiple sources said., some of its entrance points had to be locked up after the team realised they posed a security risk, allowing people to bypass the checkpoints at the main reception desks, a source said.
Facebook says it sets clear guidelines for contracting firms it works with and jointly investigates any such allegations. Reached for comment, Allied Universal, which provides security officers for Facebook in the Bay Area, said it"is committed to diversity and fostering an inclusive work environment. Our goal is to represent the many and diverse communities that we take pride in serving because a diverse population of security officers creates safer environments and stronger communities.
Facebook would not say directly whether a journalist has ever been made a BOLO, or if the company has ever accessed the location data or other personal information of a journalist as part of an investigation."No person would be subject to the above-mentioned procedures without credible cause.
There will also occasionally be unauthorized drone fly-overs, as pilots try to get a glimpse of what's taking place inside Facebook's hallowed walls.Tourists also flock by the busload to the campus of Facebook
