Pros

- I feel like my success is bounded by my own abilities, not by management or corporate politics or something - Work time is *super flexiblie*. I generally work 10-6pm or so, work from home on wednesdays - Food, laundry, etc.. at work - Coworkers are awesome, all really excited about the product

Cons

- Don't like the area around campus - Wall art could be better

Pros

- Fun, engaging workplace - Engineering-driven tech company - Encourages employees to be bold and try things out - Values ideas and their implementation over employee seniority - Bottom-up decision making (allows employees to determine how they can make the most impact)

Cons

- Competitive environment - Sharp drop-off in compensation for new employees - The focus on moving fast often means that the company spends a lot of time going backwards or iterating. This can be frustrating or exhilarating depending on whether you see the iterations as unprincipled or a necessary component of shaping a product that a billion people find useful.

Getting it done.

Pros

Disclaimer: this is my particular insight into working in engineering at Facebook. The people here are smart. Very much so. The people here are driven. Even more so. If a challenge comes up people come together and solve it and do it correctly, the buck doesn't get passed. The product is very engineer driven. If you're interested in product work but love the task of actually building it, Facebook is good fit. I was choosing between Product Management at Google and Engineering at Facebook and I think I made the right call for me.

Cons

Biggest con for me is that they are in Menlo Park and I live in San Francisco. They run very efficient shuttles but that's only second best to having a close office.
