Pros

- Smart, hardworking people - Great internal tools and tech - You get a lot of freedom as an employee, and your ideas are valued by your manager and your peers if they are good. - Great perks - Free food - Great cafeteria and decent selection of snacks and drinks at the micro-kitchen, plus two bars :) - Decent gym allowance

Cons

- No work life balance. To be fair, a fair number of people at FB work 40 hour weeks and are pretty successful, but it's not uncommon for people to work 10 hours a day or more, or work on a weekend because they are overloaded with work to do. A lot of people (including me) don't have any friends outside of work. - The whole "We're changing the world" thing starts to get old after a while.

It’s great to hear that people feel like they’re getting a lot of freedom and that their ideas are valued by managers and peers. On work/life integration, there are certainly times when people are working harder against a deadline or because something is time-sensitive. This shouldn’t be the normal state, though. It might be worth talking to your manager about it. Also, we have a lot of people who have just moved to one of our offices to work at Facebook, or who haven’t had a chance to develop new friendships along the way. To help connect people with others who might have similar interests, we introduced Clubs@Facebook a couple of years ago. They’re pretty robust now, and a lot of people have used the clubs to jumpstart friendships and to help build a social life with colleagues that extends beyond Facebook. In fact, more than half our people belong to one or more clubs. You can find more information about the clubs on our internal WIKI at: Life@Clubs —Your Friends at Facebook
