Pros

Wide variety of great things to work on. Your colleagues will be the best you ever worked with, and you'll learn a lot from them. Very supportive of employee growth, great managers who really invest time in their employees. Amazing parental leave benefits, great senior leadership. Awesome open source program, leading the world in numerous areas for both software and hardware

Cons

Better for engineers and designers than fro most other disciplines. Stock had captured most huge growth, not a start up any more. The 101 is basically a parking lot. The interns eat all the best food :-)

Meta Response

Thank you! We work hard to hire people who are the best at what they do. We were really excited to announce the extension of the 4-month parental leave to male and female employees around the world. So we're glad that matters to you. We do want to work hard to maintain the benefits of a start-up culture while growing the Facebook business around the world. (Instagram, Oculus, Messenger, WhatsApp, Internet.org, etc.) Our advice on the interns eating the best food? Try the 11:45-Noon window for lunch. It's early, but sets you up for a break at the Sweet Stop later in the afternoon. - Your Friends at Facebook

Pros

- change the world, nudging a billion people at a time - working with the best minds around. I graduated at the top of my class, both high school and college...and so did everyone else - they take great care of their employees needs - a pace of change, despite the company's size, that will blow you away - an unlimited set of interesting and challenging technical problems

Cons

- they talk about "work-life blending" instead of balance, but what this means in reality is that work generally dominates your life (along with your newsfeed) - a growing focus on financial compensation instead of intrinsic motivators - at the pace and scale of the company, an individual's perceived impact is shrinking - using user engagement metrics as a poor substitution for user sentiment / satisfaction - especially in the last few years, converging with the model of most other major companies
