Pros

You don't realize how great Facebook is until you work somewhere else. It is easy to overlook the value of the perks, the quality of the people, and getting to work on a product billions of people use daily. That is really the fun of working at Facebook is that you get to work on problems that are not terribly unique but which must be solved at scale which adds untold complexity.

Cons

The size of the company and the bureaucracy really slows the company down. Adding layers of additional management from outside companies who don't always share our values causes issues. Also, it feels at times like folks are more focused the perks that other companies have than on the amazing generosity of the perks Facebook has.

Pros

- the work you do there it’s rarely you get to be so exposed to senior leaders, work with a great product that touches many lives, cares for the employees and it’s impact in the world - culture is extraordinary- you are given a lot of room to fail, learn, move fast. All values are lived on a daily basis: move fast, be open, build social value, focus on impact and be bold - amazing teams, there is A LOT to do so you learn fast to be the most efficient person possible (but don’t have to work long hours necessarily) - AMAZING perks - from the office spaces, food, gym and transport allowance, massage chairs, game rooms etc in the offices. It’s out of this world!

Cons

- it’s extremely intense so you need to be resilient and likely be ok to cope with high levels of stress from time to time - career progression can be a challenge as it’s not always clear what’s required to happen to progress - FB has been heavily criticised on the media on the past couple of years so sometimes it can get to you as you are proud of what you do and what the company is doing to make changes but others may not agree with you

Pros

Generally speaking you are treated well, it really depends on the team you work within. There is a lot of negative press on the outside about FB but on the inside you witness all of the good FB does. If you align to what they are doing it gives you a great feeling. As a recruiter here, its the hardest but probably most rewarding job I've had. The tools are great and getting better everyday and depending on the are you are working in you can do some really cool things! Free food Again depending on team, very casual about where and when for working

Cons

Some management have got to where they are from longevity within the business and not the impact they have which hinders people The review process is pretty rough, bottom line is if you don't get on with your manager you are not going to get very far in your career, a lot of bias in this process. They talk a lot about an open feedback company and how everyone is honest which is fair but when management can't take feedback or literally do not care then that is the issue Most managers are very disconnected from the recruiting process and try to dictate what you should do when generally you will know what is best for your clients
