      Getting it done.

      Pros

      Disclaimer: this is my particular insight into working in engineering at Facebook. The people here are smart. Very much so. The people here are driven. Even more so. If a challenge comes up people come together and solve it and do it correctly, the buck doesn't get passed. The product is very engineer driven. If you're interested in product work but love the task of actually building it, Facebook is good fit. I was choosing between Product Management at Google and Engineering at Facebook and I think I made the right call for me.

      Cons

      Biggest con for me is that they are in Menlo Park and I live in San Francisco. They run very efficient shuttles but that's only second best to having a close office.

      A truly great workplace

      Pros

      Great co-workers - Facebook employs extraordinary people, working with such amazing people makes all the difference. Open environment - Facebook encourages you to break the boundaries, you should are always welcome to come up with new ideas, crazy as they seam. Great benefits and perks - The campus in MPK is amazing, gym, food, laundry, coffee, doctor, everything for the employees. The 4 month parental leave wasn't bad either.

      Cons

      Facebook outside MPK is not as great. The remote locations don't have the same range of perks and won't be as great to work for.

      A fun ride, with lots of opportunities to soar

      Pros

      - The culture is very open and honest, and the heavy use of groups internally keeps everyone accountable to others. Company-wide Q&As also keep the management team transparent. - The work you do is high impact, and products iterate quickly - Hackamonths actively encourage engineers to try a different team occasionally - Lots of opportunities to continue learning, like training for iOS and android development

      Cons

      - Work/life balance can be tough, depending on the team. This is up to personal preference though, and many teams (especially those in infrastructure) have more stable projects. - Coasting doesn't work here, you always have to be actively improving and not rest on laurels
