Business Outlook

Pros

I have been incredibly pleasantly surprised by the Facebook culture, which matches what it purports to be, which in my experience is very unusual. During the currently global crisis, FB leadership has proven time and time again that they really do put the wellbeing of employees front and centre, and still deliver on enormous ambitions. The pace is fast, the compassion is real.

Cons

There are an enormous number of extremely smart people, moving very fast, in a really empowered and transparent way. There is nowhere to hide, peer pressure is enormous and the bar is high!
