Pros

Lots of investment in employee learning and growth Too much responsibility too soon helps you move up quickly and learn fast Great perks, great coworkers

Cons

As we grow, the company is getting more hierarchical Very easy to let it become your whole life (not that you'd necessarily be unhappy)

Pros

There is little friction between developing product improvements and shipping them. Engineers are generally given lots of authority to figure out the right thing to do and just do it. When people come from other companies they are often shocked by this, but even as the company has grown there are still very few gatekeepers between an engineer and getting their code into production.

Cons

Lots of the internal systems can be flaky. Scale is more important than reliability or consistency in some cases, which makes building reliable apps frustrating.

Pros

Top reason : the people at facebook. They are the most brilliant and smartest people I have ever met. They provide you with an awesome learning experience and a very cool work culture. Other reasons : Nice salary package, great food, minimal politics, and other nice perks (too many to explicitly state!)

Cons

I cant think of any except for one compared to smaller startups. The low hanging fruit on the infrastrucure side is pretty much all gone now, so to make improvements/impact takes a lot of time, hard work and requires you to go very deep into one particular aspect.
