Pros

Facebook is full of extremely capable and smart people. The lines are very short, and it's easy to get a hold of the right person to talk to on any topic. There's no red tape, so it's really up to you to have a big impact on the product and the world. People who make a big impact are recognized and rewarded, regardless of their job title or level of experience. The company's leadership truly believes in Facebook's mission to make the world more open and connected. Teams are small and have a lot of autonomy, and it's amazing to see how much of a difference a single person can make at this place.

Cons

The downside having so much going on all at once is that it takes energy and discipline to stay focused on those things that matter most. You need to embrace this challenge to get the most out of your experience.

Pros

Smart and driven colleagues Vision of management and Mark Zuckerberg to prioritize long term goals over short term ones Ability to work on a product that affects hundreds of millions of people Employees given large responsibilities relatively early in their careers Strong culture makes it fun to work here

Cons

Relatively understaffed which means you have more responsibility and ability to define your work but longer hours Facebook starting to grow and increase its level of bureaucracy although it is still limited

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
