Pros

- If you are in sales: - there isn't a more exciting thing to sell or talk about with clients and marketers - huge advantage in terms of gaining access to clients - Great career opportunities especially for those that are willing to get involved in emerging teams and roles and get stuck in. - Great benefits and work environment, amazing people to work with. It'd be hard to work anywhere else. - Always launching something new both on the marketing front and for users. - Business side of the company aside, we're changing the way the world communicates.

Cons

- Work - life balance is difficult particularly for the ambitious. - So many moving parts at certain points that turns out different groups at different locations are working on the same problem. This can be helpful when it's an innovation/engineering problem but not as much when it is about business processes etc. - Developing tools to increase non-engineering employee efficiency not perceived as sexy but might be inhibiting growth.

Pros

- really sharp, passionate co-workers - blazingly fast ship cycle (new code hits the site *every day*) - your work helps hundreds of millions of people connect with friends and family - tremendous discretion over what team to join and what projects to work on - open, warm, friendly, funny company culture - awesome perks (never-ending supply of free food, 21 days PTO, 4 months parental leave)

Cons

- fast pace sometimes results in bugs - if you like micromanagement, you probably won't like FB: engineers have a lot of autonomy.

Pros

Really smart people and company moves incredibly fast. You can have a huge impact in a short amount of time. There is a ton of ownership and it is a pretty flat organization. The benefits at the HQ are great- free food, gym on site, shuttles to work and flexible hours. Mark has a very clear vision for the company and everyone who works here really believes in the mission. It is nice to work at a founder led company with such a strong sense of mission to make the world more open and connected.

Cons

Some of the teams are political which can be frustrating. The Menlo Park office is kind of in the middle of nowhere so there aren't any places to run quick errands or grab drinks/food after work without going all the way to downtown Palo Alto.
