      They gave me an entire seat but I only need the edge!

      Pros

      The best reason to work at Facebook as a software engineer is at Facebook, my ability to make an impact is limited only by my physical capacity to stay awake, not need food, etc. Engineers are able to work on any system(s) necessary to solve a problem and are not constrained around implementation tactics.

      Cons

      I think the con is the flipside of the pro -- there's so much more to do than I can possibly get done sometimes I feel stressed. The fun part here is this is entirely self-induced... :/

      Very competitive work environment but not accurately advertised as such

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Opportunity to write software that gets used by hundreds of millions of people -Opportunity to see how a successful company is run -Opportunity to launch often -Potential IPO

      Cons

      -Frontend work (i.e. work done in most of the product-oriented teams) is mostly mundane PHP and nothing that really intellectually challenging from a Computer Science perspective. (Backend may be different but I never tried that.) -Potential to get judged too quickly for performance. They are less willing than other companies to let you try something different which may be a better fit if you are not performing well enough on your current project. -Chaos that may hurt you--you may start out on one project but be expected to do something else for no good reason, that may not be the best fit for your skills. -Some managers are too busy to give useful frequent feedback. -I get the impression that they manage by a bell curve, but are not not being transparent about it.
