Pros

Great benefits and perks. Great culture. Interesting projects. Big on employee growth and development. Very collaborative work environment. Great parties to help employees take some time away from the office.

Cons

No complaints yet. Company is always focused on getting better. If I had to choose, I would say there aren't enough food options? ;)

Pros

You will be surrounded by smart people, who all pull their own weight and more. You get to cook up new solutions to completely new problems. You will be given an array of opportunities to learn and improve in whatever you do. The tooling is amazing, and really helps you get to the real, interesting work instead of being a source of frustration. The perks are nice, too.

Cons

Facebook is not for the faint of heart. We work hard.
