Pros

Lot of independence in choosing your projects, recognition for innovation, complex problems, daily code pushes to production, awesome peers.

Cons

Constant inflow into upper management chain from other companies, so harder to move up the ladder if you're not on a crucial project.

Pros

I never knew a company could move so fast and get so much done while still kind of being out of control. The norm wasn't to follow a policy or to go by the book, but instead to continually innovate and ask why we do things the way we do. I was constantly challenged by the high caliber of my peers around me. I worry that I may never find such a great work environment again.

Cons

Work/life balance is great at Facebook, IF your entire life is Facebook. The lines begin to blur fairly early on between personal and work. This probably isn't a problem for the majority of early 20 somethings working at FB, but I found it challenging as a 30 something with kids.

Not a good place for a career

Pros

1. Great benefits and perks 2. Passionate and dedicated employees 3. Fun and exciting environment

Cons

1. No career growth and lack of internal career paths 2. Low compensation 3. Lots of politics within the company (many ex-Yahoos and AOL employees are in management) 4. Bad culture and habits brought in from ex-Yahoos and AOL employees are making a big negative impact on culture and morale at the company 5. Mark Zuckerberg, aka Zuck has received good ratings in the past but of late he has been very distracted and not focused on how the company is run internally, he should own it and step up by making management changes to course correct the ship before it becomes another AOL.
