Pros

They treated their employees really well (can't speak to post layoffs though). If you're a "heads down, I don't care what anyone else is doing, I only care about six month goals" kind of person, you'll probably do fine. It doesn't matter if what you did for six months doesn't actually move the overall project forward.

Cons

If you want to work well with other groups and build a big picture about future goals, if you want to make Meta a better place for the world, if you care about your users...you're doomed. You're just making it easier for them to do more damage before the regulators show up.

Pros

Great people to work with. There's a lot of empathy. Free breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. You won't have any issues getting whatever equipment you need.

Cons

It's a stressful time to be at the company. Due to over-hiring, there can be competition to find meaningful work and get good ratings. There are definite cost cutting measure happening. Work-life balance and enjoyment really depends on what team you join, and may not be obvious until afterwards.
