High pressure environment. Highly underpaid comparing to Bay Area, Singapore, Dubai. High variable wrt to the quality of middle management, very important to work with high quality managers.

Pros

During my time at Facebook, I've had some of the best people managers in my career. They have helped me improve my communication skills, people skills and empathy skills. The perks are absolutely ridiculous, from free charging for electric cars to amazing free desserts, and packed micro kitchens.

Cons

One of the reasons Facebook is in this sticky privacy situation is the complacency at the top. For many years, management has denied its social responsibility to moderate the content that appears, claiming to be an unbiased 'platform'. They ignore years of 3rd party studies that show that they are creating echo chambers. Even after getting "Exceeds Expectations" cycle after cycle, I found it difficult to influence the top-down decisions. A group of engineers & analysts may prove a huge opportunity in developing a feature, with data and all, but if it's not the direction coming from the top, then it's unlikely to get resourced. They don't always put in the effort to discuss the pros & cons of these strategies.

Pros

- Perks - Life@FB helps manage every aspect of your work life during the day, from providing three meals a day, to unlimited visitor invites, helping with laundry, bike repair, hairdresser... - Initiative-driven culture. Nobody tells you want to do - you figure out how you can be most effective and run with that. - Strong engineering-centric culture. - Mark and Sheryl are amazing.

Cons

- The environment is hyper-competitive because everybody is really good and motivated. No room for the slightest slack. - A lot of employees seem to be taking the perks and culture for granted, which is not a good trend.
