Pros

Feels like combining a startup-like focus on actual problems with enough resources to keep surprising me. I'm still trying to figure out how the company makes this approach work at scale, but it works. I have to prove myself all the time which I really love - no coasting on past achievements. Keeps me sharp.

Cons

Performance reviews are tricky. I'm working on using them to help me improve focus, but so far it still feels like being graded (my experience is startups with no such mechanism).

Pros

Good foo, good envirment The people are all really great and the company really trains you well. Maybe the most structured training program I've seen. Very professional but friendly environment.

Cons

too crowded, need to valet parking The location isn't ideal. It's kind of a not-so-nice part of town. Many people commute an hour each way, since they don't want to live in the area.

Pros

The amount of freedom each individual has is amazing. Tons of perks :D The culture is now more balanced, we move fast but also focus on maintaining stability. I had to move to a new country to join Facebook but never felt out of place. Never felt like a job to me.

Cons

We have a very active social life with colleagues, but is limited to weekends with other friends. From what I've seen its tougher to maintain work-life balance once you are married.
