Pros

Globally it is a good company to work at, great mission and vision and strong values. There are some good communication channels to expose problems. Strong encouragement and support to give their employees a healthy work-life balance.

Cons

The values do not apply in GMS (Sales teams) and even less in regions that are not in US. The LatinAmerican management is irresponsible. There are problems in each country in terms of compensation and growth opportunities. The worst experience is the recruiting process with tons of promises through the phone and they are not able to send you a written offer until you have accepted & signed online. After your first paycheck you notice that they didn't get all the benefits that were promised through the phone, because "they couldn't write it on the contract where you could only see your yearly compensation" "because they were local benefits". Salary payment processes are outsourced and unmanaged by internal teams, resulting on taxing issues and each country's inflation and devaluation affecting the life quality of the employees by not being able to adjust the salaries when all living costs have dramatically increased. The local management teams are not receptive on the employees concerns. In each region; salaries and seniority levels are given not by real performance or experience but by relationships. There is retaliation on complains, there have been open "advices" to avoid complaining. This is worrying for a company with the open culture like Facebook.

Pros

The only shining beacon are the product and engineering team, with smart people and great leaders. The top company leadership is very inspiring. Be very careful of which team and organization you join. For this team- the pros would be NONE. This team is laden with middle managers making decisions based on perception and favoritism. Lot of politics and inadequacies of the managers. Inexperienced managers seem rudderless, no direction only talk. My rating here is only for the Product Support Team, under the Sales Planning and Operations org, and does not reflect the overall company culture and ethos.

Cons

The saying is very true - "You don't leave a company, you leave a manager and a team" - They upsell you on what the job is. It is pretty awful in its job scope and can be considered amongst the lowest importance / status in the company. - The team is a team of middle managers who lack the drive, connection and leadership to keep the teams motivated. Some of the managers are very inexperienced and only seem to be there by managing upwards and buttering their bosses. - If you ever think of joining this team as a stepping stone within Facebook - DON'T. The reputation and status of this team is really poor in the organization. Hard for you to move to other teams too. - Managers are all talk no action. They are not there to support you and play favorites. They will act as though they listen to you, check a box for their "initiative" for listening to you and never take action. Some specific managers are there for their own selfish reasons.
