Pros

The culture is really what sells me on a Facebook -- moving fast is a prerequisit to succeeding there, and code wins arguments. Very little of the fiefdoms and internal bickering of other large tech companies occurs there because people are so concentrated on impact.

Cons

Code quality and testing could be better, and the organization is a bit chaotic at times. Not a good organization if you like to be hand-held.

Pros

You work with incredibly smart people on cutting edge technology. It's relatively easy to ship. Not too much process. Whatever you ship will likely impact the lives of hundreds of millions of people. It's easy to switch teams so you can always focus on your passion.

Cons

Some of the managers aren't very good. I think we could do better at manager training. Working with amazing people means that you may not stand out as much as you would at a less awesome company. The culture can be uber aggressive. Some people take that to the point of being mean. Managers don't care if engineers are huge jerks, as long as they are good.

Pros

If, like me, you are into building system at a huge scale, this is a dream come true Super smart and nice colleagues makes it a great environment All the awesome perks top it off

Cons

You need to have self discipline and not be disturbed by a very dynamic environment. Do sign up and go to the gym so you don't end up gaining 15 pounds from the amazing free food, including delicious desserts.
