Best engineering job I've ever had.

Pros

It's engineering-driven, meaning engineers have a lot of say in the direction of products. They've given a lot of responsibility and expected to take ownership in driving things forward. The organization contains the most talented people I've ever worked with. And so far, it's struck the right balance between providing enough resources (like a big company) and giving everyone ownership over what they work on (like a small company).

Cons

It's not as small as it used to be, and it's sometimes difficult to keep up with what's going on across the company.

Pros

Facebook's "move fast and break things" culture avoids assigning blame for reasonable mistakes, which is a wonderful thing. Teams actively avoid separating creation and responsibility, so you are actually responsible for code that you wrote. The engineers that I get to work with are amazingly skilled and good coworkers

Cons

Tools and APIs change, and old systems are actually deprecated and removed, so part of the process of moving forward goes toward staying in place

Pros

Free food. Free transportation. Get to put Facebook on your resume. Casual work attire.

Cons

If you are a CONTRACTOR you will be treated like a second class citizen, you will have no voice. Will not be considered for advancement, even if there are positions available. Actual employees work less than the contractors. FB hires contractors to do work that will be constantly needed, front desk, kitchen staff, IT Help Desk to name a few. It's as if they don't want the "help" to be officially apart of their team. The FB you see online is not the same as in the office.
