Pros

-Great pay -Name brand on your resume -Use to be a great place until about the last 8 months -Some intelligent colleagues still left Come here for the salary if you can handle the hours and having a name brand on your resume so you can get a better job as they are hiring too many bad recruiters

Cons

-Long hours -Higher metrics/goals -R4R is making bad hires in recruiting to hit numbers, team is over 1k - Compete with fellow recruiters for candidates, lots of scuffles over ownership -Too many bad leaders with high metrics they could never hit

Pros

Scale of problems we get to solve, working with the smartest folks on the planet, cross-functional projects, working in a strengths-based organization (do what you're good at, and what makes you thrive!), huge believer and DOER when it comes to Diversity--Facebook is actually doing meaningful things behind what we say, benefits, work-life balance, leadership training,...the list goes on and on. It's one of a kind.

Cons

Brand recognition sometimes gets in the way of all the good we're doing. We have to move past the noise and see the greater/bigger picture. The media likes to sensationalize things, and that's not always easy to read/see. At the end of the day, FB is doing good. I strongly believe this.

Thank you for your review. We're working to build a different kind of company and that means successfully delivering and being true to all the areas you mentioned (strength-based values, diversity, teamwork). In the coming decades, we believe Facebook will connect people and share experiences in ways we have yet to imagine. Our employee community has always been built on openness and trust and we have a deep sense of responsibility, care, respect and gratitude toward each other and the global community we serve. As you highlighted, we genuinely care about the people we serve, and are working hard to make sure we continually improve.

Pros

- Can generally get things done on merit - People support one another and tend to form friendships outside work - Pay and benefits excellent - Investment in skill/career growth

Cons

- Became increasingly political as company grew, lots of empire-building - Bottlenecks with upper management - Peter principle in action with 'old time' Facebookers in positions of power with no accountability - People tend to burn out quickly as pressure/expectations are extremely high and doesn't let up
