Pros

I'm a female Software Engineer at Facebook. This is the best company I have ever worked for and am so insanely happy to be here. Every day I wake up excited and grateful to be working here. Even in such a large company, I feel like I get the support I need and while also having impact. Everyone is so smart, nice, and always willing to help.

Cons

Can't think of any cons

Pros

Best company I’ve ever worked at. I’ve worked for start-ups and Fortune 500 and while Facebook is already established, things change so quickly here where you still feel the start-up culture. You also get to work with extremely smart, diverse and humble people which makes this place so unique.

Cons

Work life balance can be challenging - there is always so much to do and it’s easy to forgot when you need to disconnect. You are expected to be self sufficient when you start and pick things up quickly. This can be challenging for some.

Pros

outstanding benefits, good people overall

Cons

One thing I noticed was the first person to 'post' an idea ultimately gets credit for the idea, even if they didn't originate it. Makes it hard to discuss ideas or work collaboratively without fear that your ideas will get stolen. I guess it's part of moving fast and breaking things. Also, propaganda posters decorate all the buildings. They're there for inspiration but it felt more like cultish brainwashing. My opinions could be because I was older than about 92% or the population at Menlo Park which skews toward college grads and under 30s. For a veteran of the industry, some of the soft and sentimental "stories" sometimes ring false. Some people simply want to go to work and do a job without having to make it a life changing experience.
