      A fantastic place to work, for high achievers

      Pros

      - The company is very relevant and what we do matters. This means there are opportunities for you to make a real impact on society. - Virtually infinite learning opportunities. There is always some new technology to learn. You will never be bored. - Compensation is excellent. There are few places that would pay an engineer more. - Perks are amazing. And I haven't even tried the free food yet. (We're still working from home.) - Fast paced. - Engineers have extremely high autonomy. Engineers usually decide for themselves what projects to work on. - Employees are very optimistic and regard most problems to be solve-able. We are always trying to innovate and improve. - The middle-managers are some of the best I've ever seen at any company. They respect people and seem to really care about their well-being and career goals.

      Cons

      - Expectations are very high. You have to be strategic about how you spend your time because there are so many expectations that it's hard to satisfy them all if you just do random work without thinking about how it matches the expectations list. This is kind of an annoying cognitive burden to constantly deal with because no one will directly tell you what to do. (See the point about autonomy, above.) - If you like to be methodical or process-oriented, it can be frustrating at times because Facebook is the opposite of that. Most activities are ad-hoc and documentation is usually terrible or non-existent. Tools and infrastructure randomly break and you frequently have to troubleshoot them yourself. - Software reliability is not the best, which means you frequently will be pulled into putting out some fire or preventing a crisis, rather than working on the thing you would prefer to work on.
