Pros

Autonomy - managers are trained to empower, not micromanage Great workplace - all of the perks Freedom - make no mistake the workload is intense. But I have the freedom to work on my own terms and make my own decisions about balancing work and life Meaning - you are working on products that impact so many peoples' lives. It's truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Cons

Intense workload - you need to be the type of person who can handle this (most Facebookers can). Fast growing org means sometimes the right processes are not in place, or processes are broken, which can lead to churn/frustration/breaking things. This is par for the course in every fast growth company.

Pros

People here care deeply about the mission to connect the world. Everything we do connects to the mission and Mark talks about the mission in practically every talk. We encourage people to be their authentic selves. There's no "work you" and "personal you." There's just "you." People care deeply about each other here. And you have the ability to make an impact beginning on your first day. Some places it takes 6 months or a year to make meaningful progress, but here you jump in and make a difference right after orientation.

Cons

It's really fast paced and things change quickly. You have to be able to ride the waves and adapt quickly. So many people are grateful to be part of such an amazing company, but there are a few bad eggs who ruin the culture because they takers, not givers. We need to serve more humble pie in the cafes.
