Pros

I can only say for IC(individual contributer) or what we generally call software engineer - clear career path. from E3 to E5 or evem senior staff role, there is always a path you could find - good mentorship - fast promotion as long as you can keep making bigger impact. - Clear goal of the company. FB is very good at setting up good metrics - Cool Perks. Needless to say

Cons

- Have to compete for getting impact - Is ads a good thing?

Pros

* Excellent compensation and benefits. Takes really good care of its people, from excellent free food to subsidized laundry. * Lots of unique engineering scale challenges. * Engineers have a lot of autonomy and decision power. * Variety of different areas and expanding options in every office. * Fairly easy to switch teams and even offices / geographical location. * Great dev infra. Most menial jobs are automated. * Fast paced and growing - lots of opportunities for career growth. * Still kept some good things about startup culture like focusing on what matters.

Cons

* It's becoming more corporate with growth - harder to find opportunities that really move the needle, getting more political, more processes, etc. * With size, discrepancy in culture between orgs is growing. If you land on a bad position it may be harder to switch. * After negative media cycle on social media, isn't attracting same passionate people as before * Your friends and even random people will want to tell you how they feel about social media. Some will even blame you for Trump. * Culture of "move fast" and "focus on impact" taken to the extreme in some orgs which causes lots of incidents, unnecessary stress and terrible codebase.
