Pros

I worked with a lot of smart people there. Overall, the company is doing well and has a robust strategy. The perks are great too.

Cons

It's grown really fast recently and the culture's been diluted. The product roadmap changes a lot. It's had trouble innovating internally, most product growth lately has come through acquisitions.

Pros

The engineering organization is great in terms of giving people autonomy, interesting work, flexibility, and growth opportunities. I've encountered good managers here, who truly care about developing their reports and helping them find engaging work.

Cons

The internal culture feels uncritical of the company's decisions. Too often, people conflate our business interests with humanitarian interests.

Pros

Facebook is an amazing company with lots of opportunities. Behind the free food and great perks, you'll find knowledgeable colleagues and inspiring human beings. The "move fast" motto is tuning down progressively for "stable infra" in infrastructure.

Cons

Maintaining a work-life balance is difficult. Codebase is still messy in some parts and can be frustrated when documentation and owners are nowhere to be found.
