Great benefits, changing culture

Pros

Facebook is working on some inspiring things & it's cool to be a part of it. Many of the people they hire are extremely bright. Benefits are awesome.

Cons

Work/Life Balance is non-existent. As is career development opportunities & mobility on the non-technical side. Management is really poor & gets increasingly detached and political the higher up you get. They tend to reward/promote people who can make themselves look good, rather than people who actually get stuff done. This wasn't the case when I joined; but, the culture has shifted dramatically in that direction.

Pros

An incredible amount of time and effort is put into pushing employees to be the best version of themselves they can be, both professionally and personally. Development and career opportunities abound everywhere you look, and the quality of people that you are surrounded with is eons beyond anything I've seen at any other company, and I've worked for quite a few in different parts of the world. Culture plays an important role, and is also what makes the special place it is. The workload is high, but a heavy emphasis is put on having the right work-life balance/integration - which helps keep things humane. Even with a high workload, the impact of what we do is seen and felt on a very regular basis, pushing me to continue in my quest to be the best version of myself I can be, so I can deliver results that support our ultimate mission of making the world more open and connected. The hype is very real. It really is this good here.

Cons

Being surrounded by the creme de la creme day in and day out makes imposter syndrome a very real and regular challenge. Keeping these thoughts in check can be challenging, but if you can manage it, and focus on being the best version of yourself, everything works out in the end. Incredibly fast moving changes can be tough to keep up with, but its also a big part of the joy of being here. There isn't much to complain about, which is why I'm having difficulty finding something of real substance to put here. Oh yeah - the free food, drinks, and snacks absolutely must be offset by regular workouts, or else the natural process of weight gain will rear it's ugly head. File that under #TheFoodIsTooGood.

Pros

I mean, it's the happiest place on Earth. It's like Disneyland except... you get paid a lot instead of the other way around. I legitimately and genuinely enjoy the people I work with and coming into work is something I look forward to after a vacation (of which we get 21 days / year). I'm not a father, but I hear if I choose to be, I get 4 months paternal leave. Comp is great, food is great, ... I never talk about where I work and what I do because I just feel so lucky to be here. It's not really fair.

Cons

We're getting huge. The last thing I want is for the company to turn into a Google/Microsoft/Amazon, but it might be inevitable. Luckily, the company takes preventative action to prevent the big corporate feeling... but it isn't working super well.
