Pros

Cool; (duh, it's Facebook!). Great resources, lots of 'candy' (e.g. free food, parties,...), super autonomous (do your job anyway you want as long as it gets done. Have a trip to Menlo Park; no problem, etc...). Great impact (did I mention the billion+ people using this thing?). Great culture (when applied - see notes below). Great benefits (salary, shares, medical, 401k,...)

Cons

Bad work / life balance - you better be jusr out of college with no wife/husband/partner; nor any children. They do not know how to deal with senior people. Managers are just employees who do more work; they do not have time or the need to help out. I have seen a few people get thrown under the bus by the boss - why defend your team when Menlo Parks complains because they do not know what you are doing; fix another task and get new employees.

Pros

- Company really, really loves its employees, given they are delivering - High energy, talented colleagues. Tons of learning opportunities from others - Super perks - 4 months paternity leave, free food, social events - Freedom. Lots of rope to define own path in an area or on a team

Cons

- Expectations are high so a lot people are putting in long hours. I haven't had a problem with work/life balance, though. - Technical debt. Moving fast means adding layers vs. designing stable systems. - Crowding. Recent employee growth means it can be hard to find private space for meetings, calls, etc...

Pros

Zuck is a legend in his own time, his Friday Q&A's are can't miss and it is awesome to hear him handle the tough unexpected questions. Perks are world class Leadership listens to challenges that employees are facing and for the most part makes changes to correct. It is a fun culture and we have some pretty legendary parties It is stunning how transparent leadership is with the whole company.

Cons

The commute to Menlo Park Occasional Politics
