Pros

Three full catered meals, yum. Great location. Potential to impact a lot of people in the world. Bottom-up culture with lots of room for people that have ideas to shine.

Cons

Layoffs, job freezes, and uncertainty has made morale absolutely horrible for past 9 months. Impact and move-fast comes at the expense of other things.

Pros

Interesting products and brilliant people around. Interesting challenging tasks.

Cons

That's no more old Facebook. Old hacker culture is ruined by aggressive hiring and then by layoffs. People discouraged, "efficiency year" means everybody have more work than before, teams are understaffed. Interesting products and brilliant people around. Interesting challenging tasks. Most people believe that any fault could be counted for the next layoff. Review process it toxic, all your fault will be taken into account, "game rules" are hidden.
