Business Outlook
Pros
- really sharp, passionate co-workers - blazingly fast ship cycle (new code hits the site *every day*) - your work helps hundreds of millions of people connect with friends and family - tremendous discretion over what team to join and what projects to work on - open, warm, friendly, funny company culture - awesome perks (never-ending supply of free food, 21 days PTO, 4 months parental leave)
Cons
- fast pace sometimes results in bugs - if you like micromanagement, you probably won't like FB: engineers have a lot of autonomy.
