      HR Business Partner

      Human resources business partner
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Dream Job: -Autonomy to work 100% independently, authority to make huge decisions that shape the business, and pretty near perfect manager and leadership support. -Quite literally the smartest, hardest working and most competent people I've worked with in every facet of the company (including start-ups, mature companies, and post-start up tech companies). - Low tolerance of BS, low tolerance of "everything is amazing, everyone is perfect" when things can be improved. - The org moves fast with people issues, low performance (when appropriate), and childish behavior (very very low tolerance for this). - Incredibly lean orgs, especially in HR, so you really have the ability to own a business from end to end. - Low tolerance for politics or front stage/back stage behavior. - Best HR team I've ever worked with including the best manager I've ever worked with. Full of high performing, no jerk, high wit peers at the top of their game.

      Cons

      - Incredibly lean - At least on the non-tech side of the house we could easily add 5 more HRBP's/HRG's and still be understaffed. The pro is way more opportunity for impact, the con is that you just cant get to every org, manager or employee that could be optimized with some extra attention. - Comfort in the gray - Being successful at Facebook means being comfortable without always having a process, policy, or system to fall back on. The bonus is it leaves more freedom for judgement, the down side is first ever decisions can feel like they're policy setting (even if no policy is created)

      Friendly people, interesting work but no work-life balance.

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Smart, hardworking people - Great internal tools and tech - You get a lot of freedom as an employee, and your ideas are valued by your manager and your peers if they are good. - Great perks - Free food - Great cafeteria and decent selection of snacks and drinks at the micro-kitchen, plus two bars :) - Decent gym allowance

      Cons

      - No work life balance. To be fair, a fair number of people at FB work 40 hour weeks and are pretty successful, but it's not uncommon for people to work 10 hours a day or more, or work on a weekend because they are overloaded with work to do. A lot of people (including me) don't have any friends outside of work. - The whole "We're changing the world" thing starts to get old after a while.

      It’s great to hear that people feel like they’re getting a lot of freedom and that their ideas are valued by managers and peers. On work/life integration, there are certainly times when people are working harder against a deadline or because something is time-sensitive. This shouldn’t be the normal state, though. It might be worth talking to your manager about it. Also, we have a lot of people who have just moved to one of our offices to work at Facebook, or who haven’t had a chance to develop new friendships along the way. To help connect people with others who might have similar interests, we introduced Clubs@Facebook a couple of years ago. They’re pretty robust now, and a lot of people have used the clubs to jumpstart friendships and to help build a social life with colleagues that extends beyond Facebook. In fact, more than half our people belong to one or more clubs. You can find more information about the clubs on our internal WIKI at: Life@Clubs —Your Friends at Facebook
