Pros

Rare engineer-driven culture. Many holidays and PTOs. Easy to switch to new team. So many training opportunities.

Cons

You can have to watch your own personal career path closely. FB managers are young people and not all of them are good at grow people. Some of the managers are great but you need to work on your part hardly.

Pros

Facebook combines the best aspects of working at a large public company (lots of resources and lots of institutional knowledge) and a hot startup (lots of super smart people and tons of autonomy). Going to work is a ton of fun. I look forward to tackling new problems each day.

Cons

The work schedule is pretty intense. Nice thing is that everyone works really hard here. So you don't feel like you're in it on your own. But you definitely have to work pretty hard here.

Need to suck up to management

Pros

- Some of the smartest engineers I've ever worked with - Great free food and perks (dry cleaning, snacks, etc) - Lots of opportunities to make things happen -- great bottoms up culture - Mostly very nice people who try to help each other out

Cons

- Engineering management runs the show -- you need to suck up to them to succeed, and if you dare disagree, prepare to leave - Poor quality management -- many are set there by level and for being smart technically, but aren't good people and career managers - Terrible work/life balance unless you actively set barriers and don't do some things - Sloppy coding -- hacking is more prized than good structure and elegance - A bit overly full of itself and entitled
