Pros

Good perks and comp, coworkers are nice and fun

Cons

Very competitive environment. No possible to succeed if you don’t work 60+ hours. Focus on short term impact due to performance cycle every 6 months. No clarity on expectations of roles. Mix signals from leadership about culture

Pros

Perks are amazing (food, transportation, medical, dental services, etc) People are smart

Cons

- bad work life balance (lots of young people who don’t have a life outside of office) - competetive culture - politics among management, everyone is concerned about their own growth - stressful and unfair performance review (very subjective and dependent on manager) - monotonous work with limited challenges (focus is mainly on shipping fast rather than doing good quality or deep work) - inexperienced leadership

Pros

Amazing perks and benefits. FB is used internally and truly feels like a community - something I haven never experienced at any other company before. It's a place to explore your passions with classes in the arts, a music room, running clubs, health center, etc. Everything is at your fingertips.

Cons

The recruiting team here is over 1000+ people and going up. Like someone else mentioned, the quality of hires for the recruiting team is worsening. The R4R team is so desperate to hit their goal that the bar is low and it shows. There are many new inexperienced recruiters that we just wish would or COULD do their basic, functional job. The role of a sourcer and recruiter is becoming smaller and smaller. And although leadership insists they care, every action they take suggests they do not. It is hard to constantly be reminded that you are merely just another number to be replaced asap. Be prepared to work long, long hours. There isn't such a thing as "work/life" balance as most in recruiting will work into the night and weekends. The goals and expectations are extremely high so you're constantly competing with a whole org of overachievers. Realistically, this means it'll be tough to even achieve a "Meets All" rating during the review cycle as everyone is overachieving, thereby changing that already high goal.
