Pros

Facebook decided somewhere along the line that speed and engineer efficiency mattered more than predictability and avoiding mistakes. The result is a rather refreshing environment where engineers are expected to take risks and use our discretion to jump on what we see as most important. My co-workers are amazing - facebook's been able to hire some of the best talent in the valley and it shows. The perks are top tier. It's just gratifying to work for a company with a sense of mission about creating good in the world, and that's at Facebook's heart. It's certainly helpful to love using the product yourself - but as long as you derive satisfaction from the billion people who do, you'll be happy working here.

Cons

Suspecting facebook of nefarious motives is a popular if misguided silicon valley pastime. Usually trying to argue people out of it is a waste of your time. :/

Pros

It is an amazing place. The new HQ is gorgeous and huge. You get to make whatever you want and launch it to a billion people.

Cons

It can be a little distracting to be required to use Facebook at work. I've never worked for another large company, but I think it's better than most. Allocation process took a while.

Pros

- The ratio of employees to customers is still large enough that everything you do has impact - Employees are trusted with working on what's important without the need for constant overview - Everyone is smart, but rarely feel the need to prove it. - The amenities allow us to focus on our work, and also make us feel valued. Plus not having to go grocery shopping in eight months has been nice. - The campus really does feel like a home. This is the first job I've had where I really am glad to head into work and actually get disappointed when I see how quickly the day goes by. - The managers are very technical capable, and know when to manage and when to step back.

Cons

- The size of the company makes communication a little harder, and it's more difficult to get to know people who you don't normally work with. - Conversely, there aren't enough employees to have people working on whatever pet project they want. The work they do has to have as much impact as possible (but the hackathons are a good chance to work on those pet projects for a bit) - Too much beer
