Best Place to Work, Hands Down!
Pros
- Brilliant colleagues from diverse backgrounds - A company that lives by its values and has built an authentic, open and welcoming internal community - Strong, principled leaders who endeavor to always do what's right - Unparalleled career growth and advancement opportunities, focused on impact - a true meritocracy - Top compensation & benefits, more perks than ever previously crossed my mind - fully covered medical, dental & vision, remote work flexibility, large transportation subsidies, gourmet meals, onsite gyms, personal trainers, masseuses & nails salons, free laundry and dry cleaning, 25 free therapy sessions a year, fully-covered egg freezing and IVF cycles - the list goes on and on. Facebook supports for its employees holistically - mind, body & spirit.
Cons
- Negative news cycle is very frustrating, as the work Facebook is doing is much better for the world than the media prefers to share. - Coming in, I was concerned about standing out in a large company. But our work is far more impactful, and our jobs much larger, than meets the eye. Also, there is so much emphasis on openness, connection, sharing, and community-building here that I've never felt in any way insignificant.
