Pros

Smart people, pretty close to meritocratic, interesting challenges, high levels of transparency and super flat hierarchies considering the size of the company.

Cons

Due to emphasis on promoting managers from individual contributors some managers are not great at people management. Because of the limited top-down management sometimes you end up in tech debt that might've been avoided. Facebook is not really set up for employees with families, although they are getting better. Someone is always smarter than you...

Pros

Facebook truly values the important things in life (to me, at least). - The culture and dialog is open about everything. Whether it's with your manager, on your team or concerning a company wide issue. - The amount of power entrusted to employees is huge. You are empowered to go explore and find data, build things, and generally chose the course of action you think will have the most impact. - Managers force you to go home if you're not feeling well. Miss your kid's all star game to stay at work and you'll get weird looks. Perform your core function well and you have so much leeway in how you spend your time - (how it should be, right?) - The food is so good.

Cons

- Sometimes it's momentarily discouraging surrounded by such smart, driven, all-around awesome people. And it can be harder to stand out for excellence (despite internal commitment to acknowledging successes in public and private). - On occasion the community can be overly sensitive

Pros

Challenging problems in scope and scale to solve. Money for projects is essentially unlimited. Buy the best of everything.

Cons

Politics and poor leadership in the mid-management levels. Many mediocre co-workers that can't pull their weight.
