Pros

Even after 4.5 years, the work is inspiring and the new challenges are exciting. Still the smartest employees in the business with a broad view of the world, which allows the company to serve many different cultures.

Cons

Miss the small company atmosphere of knowing everyone and getting down and dirty on multiple projects at once.

Pros

Facebook is used by everyone, and this is incredible. The Menlo Park campus is really cool and has a great vibe. - Great benefits - Smart people - Impact on millions of people

Cons

I joined Facebook a few years ago because of the agility of the engineering team. Back then, it was true. Today, not as much. - Most projects fail due to over-complication and over-engineering - Smart people are hampered by large inflexible codebase - Very hype-based culture (thing x is the new hotness, everyone on board!) - Most of the code is old and not owned by anyone, yet still in production - Most work is very mundane and not very exciting
