Pros

Competitive pay and wonderful benefits (the food is gourmet- seriously!) FB 15 is real- we've all gained 15 pounds in the first year! Very human in how they think of their employees- it's hard to find a company in the valley that treats their greatest assets with kindness and compassion. People genuinely care about each other

Cons

-you have to open your personal FB page up to co-workers (hard!)- makes sense that you use the product your company makes, but it's such a co-mingling of personal and professional lives. - there seems to be a group of the before and afters- who struggle to understand the company has grown and will not go back to the first 100 employees! This leads to a sense of entitlement and not playing as a team. - commute. UGH -Need to do better with giving back (as a company and as employees). I know our CEO has donated gazillions- but we need programs that allow employees to donate and have funds matched, and allow employees to volunteer their time. -More focus now that it's a larger company with 10K employees, on career growth and development. Opportunity to do on diversity hiring and older workers- the average age has to be under 25! And a more diverse executive team...

Pros

It was a great culture and great people. The mission of the company was huge, and they encouraged big thinking. Lots of fun things happened on a daily basis.

Cons

Politics entered the company when it reached a certain scale. Bigger teams were more difficult to ship work as fast as it used to.

Pros

I have impact on a daily basis. The colleagues I interact with every day truly value my input as a user advocate and use the feedback we collect from people to make well-informed product decisions. This company is not only data driven, but people driven at its core. I can be my authentic self every time I come to work and feel I am making a positive impact on our products and the world. I did not join the company for the benefits (though the benefits are amazing), I joined because I wanted to challenge and stretch myself. The work is challenging and feels relentless given the problems we are trying to solve, but that is a good problem to have. I value the opportunity to work on the most difficult problems and have the greatest impact I can have whenever I come to work. I could not recommend this company more highly. Thank you for making the world more open and connected.

Cons

The main challenge I face is the amount of information. Because we use our own products for work and for collaboration, information overload is a real issue. However, as with most things at Facebook, if there is a problem, people acknowledge it and talk about it openly. This problem isn't likely to be solved any time soon, but I am certain that there are plenty of smart people working on it and we will eventually find a solution that not only impacts the way we work, but also the way work is done around the world. Bold challenges call for bold solutions.
