Feel lucky and proud to be working at a company that's truly changing the world
Pros
- Open culture and a very cool CEO - Very talented people, some of them whom are famous in their fields - People feel empowered at all levels and get equal respect - You can participate in every aspect of the company through various means - Employees enjoy sort of celebrity status and get public attention probably because- 1) not too many people work at Facebook 2) FB is in news every minute 3)almost a billion people spend a lot of time on FB 4)quite a few people want to work at Facebook. - Strong brand to have on your resume: You start getting interview offers from many competitors and other companies as soon as you join Facebook, which is kinda nice.
Cons
- Too much media focus. It seems like the media and the world is constantly talking Facebook, which can sometime be overwhelming - Everybody seems to have a question or an opinion on Facebook, and oftentimes you have to answer it. I remember an immigration officer at an aiport asking me "How can I turn of timeline?" lol - The overall experience of working at Facebook could be overwhelming. People are really driven and smart, so you need to be on your toes all the time.
