Pros

- Fun, engaging workplace - Engineering-driven tech company - Encourages employees to be bold and try things out - Values ideas and their implementation over employee seniority - Bottom-up decision making (allows employees to determine how they can make the most impact)

Cons

- Competitive environment - Sharp drop-off in compensation for new employees - The focus on moving fast often means that the company spends a lot of time going backwards or iterating. This can be frustrating or exhilarating depending on whether you see the iterations as unprincipled or a necessary component of shaping a product that a billion people find useful.

Getting it done.

Pros

Disclaimer: this is my particular insight into working in engineering at Facebook. The people here are smart. Very much so. The people here are driven. Even more so. If a challenge comes up people come together and solve it and do it correctly, the buck doesn't get passed. The product is very engineer driven. If you're interested in product work but love the task of actually building it, Facebook is good fit. I was choosing between Product Management at Google and Engineering at Facebook and I think I made the right call for me.

Cons

Biggest con for me is that they are in Menlo Park and I live in San Francisco. They run very efficient shuttles but that's only second best to having a close office.

Pros

Great co-workers - Facebook employs extraordinary people, working with such amazing people makes all the difference. Open environment - Facebook encourages you to break the boundaries, you should are always welcome to come up with new ideas, crazy as they seam. Great benefits and perks - The campus in MPK is amazing, gym, food, laundry, coffee, doctor, everything for the employees. The 4 month parental leave wasn't bad either.

Cons

Facebook outside MPK is not as great. The remote locations don't have the same range of perks and won't be as great to work for.
