Pros

The opportunity to work on interesting and challenging problems. Intellectually stimulating environment. Great perks and shuttle rides make life more efficient. Company is in a good spot in a large market. The CEO has great visions.

Cons

The good, old "open and focusing on impact" culture is fading away. Senior level engineers more and more often have to fight against each other for projects or reinvent the wheels for the sake of fulfilling requirements vs. real technical/business needs. Managers brought in through nepotism have little to none people management experience and skills and brought in negative impact by playing politics. There is no clear mechanism in place to stop these viruses from spreading.

Pros

- Everyone is smart, but most are also extremely friendly and willing to help/give advice. - Choose work that interests you, and managers do everything to make sure you are happy - Flexible work hours (choose your own start and end time, doesn't matter how long you're in the office really) within reason - great benefits etc.

Cons

- steep learning curve - very hard to find good documentation when trying to learn about various aspects of infra - a lot of custom systems/tools everywhere, can be overwhelming to new hires - sometimes people move too fast and create projects without enough consideration for effort vs impact - compensation is probably not as good as other similar sized companies for new grads (unless you are an extremely desired engineer with many competing offers)

Pros

- You are surrounded by the best of the best. - Everything is handled for you, and you get the feeling the FB is here to help you be more productive in life in general. - There's space to grow, and it's performance driven.

Cons

It's still a big company, so there are ways you can end up going down the `feel good about yourself` train, and end up not being too great.
