Pros

Facebook is full of very smart, engaged, genuinely caring people. There is a lot of autonomy and not much stands between recognition and success other than yourself and your own ambitions. As a company, it’s a very cushy place with lots of perks and a laid back culture.

Cons

Due to the recent scandals, the company has become cautious to an extreme and every privacy decision is taken with painstakingly slow speed because it’s been vetted by layers and layers of people. It’s also a very fast paced and competitive place, so some people find it hard to keep up. Also, it’s a little tiring when literally everyone you meet has an opinion (both good and bad) about your company/job even when most people don’t have a clue about what you do.

Pros

Facebook has some of the greatest perks and greatest challenges to deal with. Facebook and its other social media apps are really THE social platform for world communication. With over 2.2 billion users served on a monthly basis, the work you do here really scales. You can have so much impact on so many lives.

Cons

It's a lot of work to keep up. Things move SO fast at Facebook that you constantly feel a sense of FOMO (fear of missing out). Things change quickly and you have to always be on your toes.
