Pros

Huge impact, Smart peers, Good food, and Hard technical challenges to list a few. I also really like the culture.

Cons

Noise and distractions in an open work environment sometimes hurts productivity sometimes. Luckily, there are couches and quiet rooms for that.

Thanks for your review. We like all the things you like, too. As for the open work environment, many people balance the open, collaborative workspaces with quieter options like the Zen Garden, side lounges/rooms, and rooftop garden work pods. It sounds like you’re already doing that. There are also complimentary headphones, if you think you might want to try them. —Your Friends at Facebook

Pros

Engineers have a lot of responsibility and opportunity for impact. People say, there isn't just low handing fruit, but you will be stepping on fruit on the ground. The culture is accepting and respectful.

Cons

It is and intense and demanding work environment. Many engineers work late into the night and there is an expectation that people will respond quickly, sometimes within minutes. If you don't pace yourself, you can burn out quickly.

We appreciate your feedback. We hope that the focus on results creates flexibility in the way that you and others work. Some do use that flexibility to work outside of traditional office hours. While there are some situations that require a quick reply, we agree that it is a marathon, and work toward making it an environment where people can thrive for a long time. Your manager should be able to help in this regard. Or, if you have thoughts on how we can do better across Facebook, please let us know. We welcome your feedback on this. —Your Friends at Facebook.
