Pros

Benefits, food, it equipment, health insurance

Cons

Toxic environment, Irish mafia, goals aren't clearly defined, there are no kpis to measure success so everything is very subjective. If your manager likes you, you are fine but if your manager doesn't like you, you are screwed. There's bullying in place i've never seen so many people going on work related stress leave in my life. Worst company to work for, wouldn't recommend it to my enemies even!!!

Pros

They can afford to pay high salary and give lots of benefits.

Cons

Cultish, elitist. Going in to Facebook, they make it seem like they are the most altruistic company that benefits humankind. They literally say this in the orientation meetings. They say their entire goal is "connecting the world" and that you are an amazing person because you "made it" to be able to work for the best company on the planet. The sad thing to me is that thousands of people that work there buy into it and think they're making the world a better place when it's clear from Facebook's actions that they do anything but. This company is awful.

Pros

Great salary and benefits, free food, great tools to do job

Cons

Working at Facebook wasn't a positive experience. You'll definitely meet some great people amongst your peers (lovely, smart people), but you'll almost certainly meet some awful managers too (at best, ineffectual & negative; at worst, toxic). The managers I experienced talked to the team disrespectfully, as if we were children, on a regular basis and always in a negative way, never encouraging. New people to the team were always shocked initially. The 'heightened candidate experience' that they insist on for hiring, is out the door once you're actually on board and I found it a cut-throat, toxic environment, where everyone is watching their back. They are very heavy on KPIs to an agency-level. The scope of the job is also very narrow due to the size of the org, so you very quickly find yourself bored and although I undoubtedly was learning some new skills, I was losing some I valued that I had acquired in previous roles. They don't live out the values they profess, or that are reflected in the benefits package, so you might find yourself unsupported through difficult, personal times and wondering if all the great benefits are worth feeling so demeaned. They're not.
