Pros
You don't realize how great Facebook is until you work somewhere else. It is easy to overlook the value of the perks, the quality of the people, and getting to work on a product billions of people use daily. That is really the fun of working at Facebook is that you get to work on problems that are not terribly unique but which must be solved at scale which adds untold complexity.
Cons
The size of the company and the bureaucracy really slows the company down. Adding layers of additional management from outside companies who don't always share our values causes issues. Also, it feels at times like folks are more focused the perks that other companies have than on the amazing generosity of the perks Facebook has.
