Pros

Amazing place in so many ways. Benefits and perks are literally the best you can possibly ask for. Caliber of people is amazing as well, in fact it is a little scary and intimidating. If you like fast paced, this is the place for you as the product (Facebook) can change overnight.

Cons

WAY to many layers of management and career path is not clear. The culture is also sink or swim which given the caliber of person they bring in and how many people they have to pick from, is crazy. why would you bring in that level of talent and then let her/him flounder? The young, cocky culture makes for a political one. Engineering rules the roost and sales teams are made up of people so young and inexperienced it is laughable.

Pros

Every morning when I go in, I feel like the luckiest guy on earth for ever landing a job here. Projects: Every team is understaffed, so there is a ton of incredibly important work to do everywhere. Because of this, you can work on high-impact (and potentially high-visibilty) projects from Day 1. Autonomy: I've always felt extremely trusted in both my technical competency and prioritization skills. Management is (generally) helpful when I want help, but mostly I've been able to do my own thing and work on whatever project feels most important to the company and/or interesting to me. People: Everyone is really smart, and most people are really friendly, funny, and generally awesome to hang out with. Food: Amazing. Healthy options are phenomenal, as are the unhealthy ones. Gym: The staff is incredible. So much more!

Cons

- Stress: The company likes to run slim. As mentioned in the pros above, this means you're always working on impactful projects, but it also means your team is understaffed and you may have to work some nights and weekends to get stuff done (though definitely not as bad as the previous strartup I worked for). The more teams you work with, the worse this can get, since some people love to load up on meetings during the day. Egos: There are some people who are really full of themselves and difficult to work with. This happens anywhere I've been, but there's a special brand of self-importance among some folks here. Fortunately, I've never had to work too closely with these people, but they make their presence known.
