I work on the communications team at Facebook

Pros

-Relatively flat company -Most teams I know report they work pretty autonomously and are not micromanaged -Really talented people and I never feel like I'm competing with anyone for projects or time with leadership -Personally I feel like I have a good work/life balance minus the commute

Cons

-Like most companies, your experience will largely depend on your manager and your team -Working with teams can be very disorganized or frustrating due to lack of anyone following the same process -Personally, don't feel the compensation at FB can compare to the other large tech companies, including Google and LinkedIn

Big but cool place to work

Pros

Facebook was a cool place to work, but the company is a behemoth now. The perks are great and there are some really incredible people and projects at Facebook.

Cons

Work / life balance is a bit off here especially if you live in the city. The perks are great but the expectation is to stay at the office for ridiculous hours. Also, as the company has grown so have the politics.

Pros

Very smart co-workers, fast-paced atmosphere, great networking (strong ex-employee groups after you leave), constantly changing and evolving. Mark is a strong product leader. Ability to leverage the experience for more fulfilling opportunities after you leave.

Cons

Very difficult work environment - extremely political, it combines many of the worst elements of a startup (uncertainty, lack of structure, cult-like worship of leaders) and a big company (hierarchical, hard to advance, lack of trust and needless internal competition). Large amounts of nepotism around promotions. A general culture of fear - middle management is terrified of senior management. While very smart, your colleagues will also be extremely arrogant and willing to do anything to get noticed/promoted. In general, this is not a place to go to make friends or feel like you're working together as part of a team.
