Pros

Facebook provides a great workplace in terms of creativity, meeting spaces, Videoconferencing rooms and the cafeteria ladies are the best!

Cons

Concentrix has the lowest paid contractors or any employment company doing business with Facebook. Clerical mistakes like having training classes arrive a week earlier than scheduled are commonplace.

Pros

- brilliant people all around, a pleasure to work with the best minds in the industry - recognition for the work you do does exist, even if it only means a pat on the back - work/life balance does exist, as long as you get the work done - your work is impacting product that 1.7 billion people use - amazing perks

Cons

- recruiters will low ball you on the initial offer as if their life depends on it. Even though they may have 1000 RSUs to grant they will deliberately start with a 700 hoping the unsuspecting candidate gulps it up in hopes of working for the "best company to work for". - There is unprecedented growth, which means high volume of hiring, which means C grade people are creeping in, including peers and upper management coming in from companies like Microsoft bringing their big company (read: - With great minds come bloated egos. Egoists and self proclaimed war heroes abound. God forbid you happen to cross paths with these people, but if you do, then be prepared for a political poop storm of epic proportions. - Managers are good only for 1:1s and calibrations, they dont actually drive ideas and projects, engineers do. Its easy to settle into a bubble and lose interest in the work unless you take the initiative to explore other options on a regular basis.
