Business Outlook

Pros

Facebook has an incredibly impactful mission in the world. Possible the most important tech company of its decade. You get to learn from absolute top talent is many fields. Excellent culture lacking almost entirely in bad office politics. Great pay and benefits.

Cons

Facebook is becoming a larger company and lots of time get sunk into coordinating and selling rather than building. Life/work balance can suffer despite considerable efforts from the company to balance things.

Pros

- Super talented co-workers - Facebook really is changing the world - Very easy to have a large impact inside the company - Strong focus on enabling everyone to do their best work. In particular this means focusing on keeping non productive overhead to a minimum, giving everyone the hardware, training, etc they need to succeed, preventing unhealthy corporate politics and continuously looking for ways to make engineers more productive

Cons

Changing the world is hard work, but everyone really believes in what we are doing which makes it fun at the same time
