Business Outlook
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.
