      A fun ride, with lots of opportunities to soar

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The culture is very open and honest, and the heavy use of groups internally keeps everyone accountable to others. Company-wide Q&As also keep the management team transparent. - The work you do is high impact, and products iterate quickly - Hackamonths actively encourage engineers to try a different team occasionally - Lots of opportunities to continue learning, like training for iOS and android development

      Cons

      - Work/life balance can be tough, depending on the team. This is up to personal preference though, and many teams (especially those in infrastructure) have more stable projects. - Coasting doesn't work here, you always have to be actively improving and not rest on laurels

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Favorite thing is the people I work with - super smart, humble, and motivated * Culture of innovation and challenging assumptions * Culture of shipping over politics

      Cons

      * You're expected to work hard. I'd also leave the company if this expectation went away.

      an amazing degree of empowerment and willingness to take risks

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I've found Facebook to be a place time and time again which hires smart people and empowers them to go do bold things without having to involve a lot of people to make decisions.

      Cons

      It's a fast moving company which means that it can be hard to unplug outside of taking actual vacations. I've not found a feeling of it being difficult to take vacations but you definitely need to be conscious of making it happen for yourself.
