Pros

Wonderful company and great benefits. Fantastic culture, a true leader in our industry and an example for other companies to follow. Great supporter of equal pay and opportunities for all.

Cons

Pace is incredibly hard and demanding. Growing too fast at times. Need to slow down and put more alignment in place. Almost too transparent with our employees with information and data. They really do share a lot, there are positives and negatives to that, such as when new products get leaked to the press.

Pros

Facebook offers competitive pay, fantastic benefits, a comfortable dress code, etc. but you all already know that. Those reasons alone make it an attractive place to work (though that luster does wear off). You have great IT services and productivity tools that make the day-to-day of getting work done easy.

Cons

- Management at the manager level is full of many inexperienced managers who are looking to try their hand at management. I don't think it's working that well. They don't back up their direct reports and are afraid to make any sort of decision. - Decision making by groups...while in theory is nice and probably worked a few thousand employees ago makes things slow down now. Empower your people and embrace accountability and responsibility. - Politics are king, if you can navigate them well, you'll do well on certain teams as it is rampant. Favorites are played and it's more about what you say you're doing then what you actually are doing. - Plan but don't execute - executing is for low level people, senior folks plan strategically with a holistic view and full context....yeah all that garbage talk is for real though. Seriously, depends on the team and role, but getting "stuff" done could be seen in a bad light.

Pros

Working for Facebook! It is an amazing opportunity to learn all about this great platform. The employees that would visit the Phoenix office always treated everyone with respect and professionalism even though we were the outsourced employees. It was great to have your ideas and opinions taken into consideration by people creating something for a billion people!

Cons

Revana/ Teletech is the company that hires people to work on the Facebook account. They hire entry-level people, people with criminal records, on up to people that have an education and work ethic. (Most of us that worked at real jobs prior to this were laid off from a variety of professions.) You have to start as an entry level telemarketer pitching the help of "Facebook marketing experts". You can move up in the company, but you will only ever make $13.50 an hour +commission based on a bucket system. You cannot pay your bills on the sketchy way the sales are calculated. Some people run scams and do shady things to get ahead and get top commission. Bottom line is that it is a call center and you will never be treated like a real Facebook employee. Cheryl Sandberg recently spoke about all FB employees making MUCH more than the Revana employees. I guess Facebook's call center doesn't need to Lean In. We would have people from HQ (with the same job title but making in the $70k range) sit with us to learn how we do our jobs. There was NO chance of advancement other than becoming a supervisor to telemarketers and moving up in the Revana call center system. I am giving the Career Opportunities section 3 stars because you can get good job offers to leave the Revana office by going to advertising agencies or other marketing jobs.
