Work on fun products that people use all the time

Software engineer

Pros

Fun coworkers, interesting problems, make a huge impact on the world. Scale, great benefits, opportunity to change the world and really have fun doing it. Seriously do you want to work at a company where you don't know what you'll work on? That's insane! Facebook lets you choose what you work on after you get out of bootcamp. People are really smart, fun, energetic here.

Cons

Too many food options Cavities from eating Hi-Chews

Facebook is amazing

Business Outlook

Pros

It is an amazing place. The new HQ is gorgeous and huge. You get to make whatever you want and launch it to a billion people.

Cons

It can be a little distracting to be required to use Facebook at work. I've never worked for another large company, but I think it's better than most. Allocation process took a while.

It feels more like home than a job

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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
