      Wonderful people, fun work, great culture

      Production engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Comp, benefits, and perks are incredible. Company culture is so, so good. I've had two great managers who both have done an excellent job supporting my growth and guiding my career. It also feels like senior and C-level management really cares about employees. It feels like Facebook the company really tries to support me as a whole person (but be sure to ask for what you need! nobody's a mind reader). For eng, bootcamp and team selection are such a good idea. I freaking love my team, and I get to own my decision to join that team (rather than some hiring/allocation manager deciding where I get to go). Very few operational rules/bureaucracy. I can ssh into any machine I need to. If someone's fighting a fire anywhere in the company and I am able to help, I feel like I can always jump in to help. I really like Infra, so being at a big company like FB is super fun.

      Cons

      Oncalls can kill your sleep during your oncall shift if things are noisy overnight There's a little bit of an "always on-the-grid" culture which contributes towards the 4/5 work/life balance, but it's generally not too hard to fight it. Most people who work a lot end up doing it because they're passionate about their work, anyway.

      Such a great place to work

      Engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The culture here is fantastic; there are so many things that just work well together. For example, most engineers choose which team to join after the first 6 weeks or so, which encourages a lot of really positive behaviours. The company is also really open, allowing everyone to make great decisions: if you need access to some data, you probably have it available. We have good tools and infrastructure that allows us to focus on the important things; things like booking a meeting room, following up on a task in a common system and many other things are just easy, using great tools that an internal team builds and maintains. I also think that the engineering-led approach to product development and a willingness to try things is really special, and allows us to be more bold than most other companies. Oh, and the free food! Breakfast, lunch and dinner, with lots of great options, both healthy and not-so-healthy.

      Cons

      It's not a great place if you value being in charge, or being told specifically what to do when. Everyone is expected to be self-led to a large extent. There also is relatively little documentation. If you want to find out something, most often you need to ask someone rather than read a document.

      Appreciate hearing about your Facebook London experience! We'll continue to invest in our engineering bootcamps so they can provide value to new hires across our company.

      Hard to move roles or even move up (which is expected)

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Very open culture. 2. Management team is open to feedback and is probably the best you will find in the tech world. 3. Conducts pulse survey to get a sense of employee's opinions and is taken quite seriously. 4. Work is quite challenging and the perks are probably one of the best in the industry

      Cons

      1. If you are in ops, it is really hard to have leverage, since it is an engineering-centric company, which is expected and ops is considered more "support" and "cleaning up the mess" type of role. 2. Because FB is quite the name, it is easier to hire a new person than hire someone internally. Since every single employee here, there are tons of other talented people outside that can be hired. So turnover happens for those that burnout or are stagnating in their roles and cannot progress. If you are in a non-tech role, it can feel like you are "replaceable" because there are 100's if not 1000's of people waiting in line to get your role that does something that is not as advanced as coding or building production code. 3. work/life balance as most say can take a toll on you, but this is up to you take control. 4. because everyone is really talented and the best, it is hard to get promoted unless you are the most prolific unicorn amongst all of the unicorns. It is still, however, a good starting point if you get hired.
