Not for Everyone

Pros

Perks & pay are top notch. Some of the engineers are truly talented.

Cons

As the title says, FB is not for everybody IMO. The recent set of 1-star ratings list pretty much all the things that made me leave: questionable work-life-balance, no planning/structure, arrogant/ignorant coworkers, every man for himself/every woman for herself, cliques, political, inept managers, poor communication/rumor mill/back-stabbing, no teamwork, management by attention-deficit disorder. The work-life-balance issue goes beyond the mere hours: it is expected that you become FB friends with all your coworkers, managers, etc. FB makes it impossible for the realm of your private life to remain separate from your workplace and coworkers. This wasn't working for me, but I recognize that for others this isn't an issue. It seemed to me that much that is broken at FB is perpetuated by the in-clique and in fact gets sold as the great achievements of FB's unique culture.

Pros

Good compensation, good perk. Have chance to learn lots of things. Where there is people, there is BS. There's no exception for Facebook. However it just much better than other company I believe.

Cons

# Don't join the team that seems to be filled with one single race. My first year in FB was disaster cause I chose the wrong team and they have very bad management. (Data Infrastructure). The manager is not there to help you and just want you to have significant contribution. If you can't do that, they don't bother to figure out why and help you but try to kill you. Change to a different team the second year, and its totally different world. # long hours, but, what great/uprising company doesn't have long hours?

Great experience

Pros

- Great atmosphere - High degee of ownership in your role and in side-projects - A lot of freebies (food, sport facilities, etc) - Competitive compensation

Cons

Not many cons. The company moves fast and sometimes the information can be scattered across the organization, hence will take a certain level of proactivity to gather.
