Pros

Great place for young kids out of school. You have to "play the game".

Cons

Facebook has created a truly toxic environment - it is hyper-competitive. Rarely a day goes by without talk of being impact-full, impending reviews or cross calibration. So much time-effort is wasted on internal posts shamelessly describing improvements (which are often just fixes to your own shoddy work). Like working in chicken coop? Beware, role deflation - you will get a pay raise when you join, but, typically, you will be just another software engineer (like any new grad) - regardless of your experience.

Pros

Autonomy and freedom to work on projects you're interested in Great bootcamp training Everyone is incredibly intelligent and executes well

Cons

Starting to get fairly bureaucratic, even in 2015. Can't imagine now but I've heard it has only gotten worse.
