Pros

There are an endless amount of pros about working at Facebook. If I were to pick one pro out of all of them - it's the people. Whatever you heard or read about Facebook really doesn't give the place enough credit. I'm not in HR/recruiting or even management, but I do see a common trend in everyone they bring on board. Everyone is smart, motivated, non-judgemental, and freakishly CARING. There are so many people with heart at FB. To be honest, you can be one heck of a coder, but if you're selfish - I don't think you will get hired here. I've previously worked at Google and MSFT; FB blows both of them out of the water (maybe I'm a little biased). Other pro's of course are... + Free world class food options all day long on the main campus cafeteria (MPK 20/21).This includes great snacks/drink options everywhere else as well. + Fantastic PPO/HMO health care options. The premiums are very reasonable. + Resources. They will give you everything you need so you can do an amazing job - period. Hardware, software, etc... + Did I mention the people? :)

Cons

FB (especially MPK) is expanding very fast. Things get unorganized and chaotic. Communicating with colleagues in international branch offices can be tricky.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Mark and Sheryl, along with the Facebook leadership team continue to set this example for us by "walking the talk." We are building a different kind of company here, thank you for recognizing and reinforcing the practice of "shipping love."

Pros

smart people, good vacation, benefits. shuttle busses to work to avoid traffic. 3 meals a day, but then you're at work 10 hours.

Cons

very very big, beaurocracy creeping in fast.

Pros

Virtually no numpties: not the smartest group I ever saw, but definitely - for any company with more than ten employees - the one with the least wasters. Devs are the most important people in the company. It's nice to be that person, people that have worked in investment banks will know what I mean. Good perks. You can do anything or buy anything that gets the job done: senior management have very few things that "you just can't do"...

Cons

... though one thing you can't do is work a four day week, at least not as a manager. It's pretty full-on: there's always loads to do and for a UK manager, 5pm-7pm Mon-Thurs is video conference season. If you don't mind coming in late to stay late that can be OK, but if you prefer to start early, it makes for a long day.
