      Feels much more like big company than they'd lead you to believe in the interview process.

      Pros

      Very smart co-workers, fast-paced atmosphere, great networking (strong ex-employee groups after you leave), constantly changing and evolving. Mark is a strong product leader. Ability to leverage the experience for more fulfilling opportunities after you leave.

      Cons

      Very difficult work environment - extremely political, it combines many of the worst elements of a startup (uncertainty, lack of structure, cult-like worship of leaders) and a big company (hierarchical, hard to advance, lack of trust and needless internal competition). Large amounts of nepotism around promotions. A general culture of fear - middle management is terrified of senior management. While very smart, your colleagues will also be extremely arrogant and willing to do anything to get noticed/promoted. In general, this is not a place to go to make friends or feel like you're working together as part of a team.

      Pros

      You can coast along and go with the flow. nice offices and food and benefits

      Cons

      - frantic, reactionary leadership - chaotic & random decision making - hard if you want to actually want to accomplish something and have not been there a while to understand the messy org - senior long time entrenched leaders are so political and not super competent. - lots of great people leaving now - most employees are quite junior in skill, generally just do what they are told and have to be guided.

      Recruiting's Rejects

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Benefits are second to none. They give you a lot but they also expect a lot from you as well. - The company is innovating and revenue growth is phenomenal. Which means the equity value grows significantly YoY. - Comp is good here. Facebook generally overpays a lot of recruiters compared to Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. This could be attributed to desperation because of how difficult it's been to hire recruiters.

      Cons

      - The bar has significantly dropped in recruiting. Because of the hyper growth Facebook is going through they've been forced to hire inexperienced recruiters and also rejects who weren't able to hack it in other top tech companies & start-ups. It used to mean a lot to be a full time recruiter at Facebook. Now it feels like they're giving an offer to anyone with a pulse. Inexperienced recruiters or bad ones can attribute to poor candidate experience and headaches for other recruiters. - Performance Reviews many times aren't a true reflection of individual performance. It's a problem that many companies have and Facebook is one of them. - The company has become so corporate. It's like you're just another number and the impact you're making is insignificant. - Work Life Balance is terrible. In order to be successful here you'll need to work well over 50 hours per week.
