Pros

Amazing perks, super transparent company, very little boundaries to communication. You can pretty much talk to anyone at a whim except Mark. It makes getting things down a breeze. Super laid-back, younger vibe. A lot of energy and excitement around the future. It's also nice that the company is so successful; it's motivating to know that they are moving in the right direction and have had wild success in the past

Cons

There's so much autonomy that direction from above isn't quite there. There's no product development process. The success of your product is very much up to how good your PM is or whatever process the team has lifted from other companies. PMs can be really clueless or junior sometimes, but other times, they're out of this world. Very metrics driven. It is frustrating to be so tied to metrics that better experiences don't ship or some really crappy product gets developed because of a metrics goal.

Pros

The amount of freedom each individual has is amazing. Tons of perks :D The culture is now more balanced, we move fast but also focus on maintaining stability. I had to move to a new country to join Facebook but never felt out of place. Never felt like a job to me.

Cons

We have a very active social life with colleagues, but is limited to weekends with other friends. From what I've seen its tougher to maintain work-life balance once you are married.

A lot of bad people - huge amount of hype aout hiring the best, but rarely is the truth. A lot of arrogant people MASSIVE gap between Eng/Prod and the "rest" Remote offices are give no autonomy. Smart people doing a lot of crap work Short sighted around careers Inexperienced at exec level in particular.
