Cons

Pros

On cool thing about working at Meta is to realise that almost everyone you see during your regular day uses software you are building. Meta gives unique opportunity of working with unprecedented scale that poses super interesting engineering challenges. And you'll be working on them together with extremely talented engineers. Of course, let's don't forget about good compensation and decent management.

Cons

I would mention quite a poor work-life balance and lack of recognition. Several rounds of severe layoffs was also quite a tough time to get through.
