Pros

- Quite possibly the best benefits of any company in the U.S - 3 meals a day - You get to work on challenging problems at a an enormous scale - Autonomy to work on the things you want - You work with some of amazing infrastructure tools to make your workflow as efficient as possible. If an industry tool can't keep up with Facebook's scale, they'll just engineer its own solution. I think that speaks to its engineering culture. - You work with some of the smartest people in the industry. - An extremely open culture that's very self critical of itself.

Cons

- Depending on the team you join, work life balance can be less than adequate. This is flexible however. If you seek help, you'll get it. I think its somewhat imbued within the facebook culture to work as hard as possible to make as much impact as possible. It's really up to you to communicate WLB issues, if it exists, to your team and manager to make it work for you. I don't think people here are generally working hard to outcompete one another. It's just that everyone is super intelligent and are hard workers in general before they joined facebook.
