      Disorganized and malfunctioning. Good only if you like corporate games

      Pros

      It used to be a fun place to work, but now it feels more like a grind house for thousands of engineers. - Your work affects millions of people. At least they tell you so. - Good food and cool campus. So it gives 2nd star.

      Cons

      - Hidden stack ranking. Everybody has to go through half year reviews. Good luck with your manager and your work! Nobody cares what exactly you did or how you did. They look at metrics and your impact, which is a BS term for making people work hard. It's not a product driven company. - It's a metrics driven company. You have to compete with recent grads. If you think you can actually make an impact, you're delusional. You're there to oblige your manager. That's it. Metrics, metrics, metrics. If you're behind in metrics, then shame on you! You let down your manager, your team and entire company. It's not any different than what it used to be at IBM or Yahoo and what actually killed those companies.

      At the core of what we do is our mission - to give people the power to build community and to bring the world closer together. All decisions should come back to whether we are moving the needle on that metric. We're sorry if you experienced anything less than that. We'll share this with our internal teams to keep ourselves honest.

      Obvious pros, but cons are real

      Product manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Top compensation and benefits, working with people who are the best at what they do and push you to do your best work, company trusts their employees, lots of visibility from senior management.

      Cons

      Reviews cause an unhealthy amount of anxiety among employees, sink or swim environment. Managers are expected to be in this role because they like people management and there is no additional comp for this role nor does the amount of time spent managing or mentoring get reflected in reviews. This creates a situation where there is little incentive to be a great manager and many of them are more focused on their own career growth. Work/life balance on many teams is terrible. There's a lot of lip service about it, but it continues to be a huge problem.

      Not as good as you might like it to be

      Pros

      Amazing place in so many ways. Benefits and perks are literally the best you can possibly ask for. Caliber of people is amazing as well, in fact it is a little scary and intimidating. If you like fast paced, this is the place for you as the product (Facebook) can change overnight.

      Cons

      WAY to many layers of management and career path is not clear. The culture is also sink or swim which given the caliber of person they bring in and how many people they have to pick from, is crazy. why would you bring in that level of talent and then let her/him flounder? The young, cocky culture makes for a political one. Engineering rules the roost and sales teams are made up of people so young and inexperienced it is laughable.
