Pros

Great perks, great travel opps, great people.

Cons

A cult. You are brainwashed when you arrive to believe that the Mission is Jesus Christ. People leave the 'onboarding' week with glazed eyes worshiping at the alter of Facebook. When you question things like 'I am concerned that Instagram is not healthy for teen girls, you are told you are "Off Message', Nobody questions anything. The place is full to the brim of highly efficient A players who just execute. Not my kind of place.

Don't believe all of the negative press

Pros

Having worked at Facebook for a number of years, and having experienced many other companies prior, I am still incredibly proud to work at such a company that values its employees, is so open and transparent, and that has a mission I truly believe in. Speaking with a number of employees who left Facebook only to return once again, while no company is perfect, there is a lot that Facebook has to offer - not just in terms of benefits, but with the impact that our apps and services have on this world - for people and businesses alike. Our open culture is pretty amazing to understand the vision of our company and where we're heading. Leadership has been consistently transparent in ways that many other companies are not - even other tech companies - with weekly Q&As, open posts, and quarterly all hands. And they address tough issues or topics head on. There are a lot of career opportunities within the company - as we often refer to the "jungle gym" that you can take your career internally. There are incredibly passionate people who work at Facebook, and I never cease to be amazed by the level of intelligence and care demonstrated by my coworkers around the world to help our company deliver on our mission.

Cons

Particularly as of late, Facebook has been subject to a lot of negative press. While some of it may be deserved, a lot of it feels sensationalist. So employees have to develop a thick skin and resilience to a lot of this scrutiny and ensure that we are focused on the long-term, not just the short-term. But perhaps the primary area of improvement is that people are driven and work hard - which sometimes comes at the expense of the work/life balance that we all try to achieve.

Nothing more important than moving fast

Pros

Flexible hours. Healthy food, dynamic/ energetic environment. Working with top-notch engineers/ analysts in the world.

Cons

Work/ Life balance is very challenging. When your boss pings you, they expect you to respond within few seconds; managers would put you on the spot all the time in order to drive you. Things changed very fast with many re-orgs. The whole working environment is very competitive, not much personal level connection w/ colleagues. Top priority is to get things done fast, morality is low.
