> Facebook is still a great place to work but the brand is so damaged that it's hard to see how they gain consumer trust

"trust" is not meaningful where the whole purpose of Facebook is to profile people in order to influence (=manipulate) them through advertising and promoted content, and sell their data to third parties for other kinds of (mis)use.

That is what Facebook is about, in terms of its commercial model; it's not as though they're claiming something else and ask you to "trust" them.

(and of course, there's the small matter of letting the US government eavesdrop on all communications.)
