Pros

- Fast paced learning - Freedom to work on what interests you - You can make big impact - Everything based on merit and performance, no politics - openness in culture - perks are awesome

Cons

- learning might get skewed towards internal tools, FB-specific libraries of popular languages, etc - a little chance of learning about the complete stack, more likely to work on a particular component of a bigger project/product

Pros

Facebook's "move fast and break things" culture avoids assigning blame for reasonable mistakes, which is a wonderful thing. Teams actively avoid separating creation and responsibility, so you are actually responsible for code that you wrote. The engineers that I get to work with are amazingly skilled and good coworkers

Cons

Tools and APIs change, and old systems are actually deprecated and removed, so part of the process of moving forward goes toward staying in place
