      Pros

      They have some great ideas that are inspirational. There is never a stop to the ongoing activities and overwhelming number of events. Coworkers are peers of all ages and backgrounds which makes for a unique dynamic around the office

      Cons

      Biggest common issue over my 1 year here: They don't practice what they preach (ie. Culture and work/life balance opportunities). The management team looks down on everyone. No one can advance beyond an entry level position. You get an idea that gets bought or get stuck in an entry level type job for your "career" with barely above avg pay rates. I know that this is a competitive industry but sometimes the stupid people win just because they have the right connection. Bad employees stay while realistic workers realize the mistreatment and all leave within a year. I'm not making this up. Go look up Facebook's overall turnover ratio and tell me how that could lead to happy employees. Every SINGLE person on my initial project was lied to about their working hours (expect 9-5 and told 9-5 then made work overnight/graveyard shifts), benefits (only get to go on campus when with a supervisor), and team management. Too often we are told that our ideas will be considered then a manager gets promoted to a new project for spearheading such an idea.

      Pros

      Facebook trusts its engineers. We get free food, access to technology as and when it would help our job, a good working environment, and the ability to regularly move from team to team to prevent burnout and ensure that we've spread our knowledge widely. Lots of flexibility in working hours helps, too.

      Cons

      You need to take a good grip on your work-life balance - if you want to be first in, you'll be arriving before 7am, while if you want to be last out, you won't leave before midnight, and there's no-one who'll necessarily stop you being both first in and last out.

      Pros

      Facebook is exploring some new ground with social networking and its cool to be associated to the innovation

      Cons

      People are often not treated fairly as Ego's get big fast when a company grows so quickly. They get you in the door with the "potential" of going IPO but your in you give up your life and soul with little career growth or monetary incentives. Its no wonder that three of the four founders have already left in less than 3 years and long term employees are looking to sell their shares. No potential of any amount of 'potential' earnings once they go IPO is worth being treated like second class citizens or just a fancier sweat shop.
