Pros

Good perks, though moslty for full time employees, great food, office space and culture overall.

Cons

Huge gap between contractors and FTE's, even the badges are different so everybody instantly knows where they belong. No mixing with 'real' Facebookers. The company is becoming more corporate and work-life balance is non existant. They make you feel obligated to love FB and consider yourself lucky to be a part of the family. And at the same time they send you emails about contractors eating too many snacks... Instead of giving contractors priority when applyig internally, seems like it's even harder for them to get to the company which is crazy considering most contractors work harder and now more than FTE's. They would rather hire a complete outsider and train them from scratch.

Pros

Very smart co-workers, fast-paced atmosphere, great networking (strong ex-employee groups after you leave), constantly changing and evolving. Mark is a strong product leader. Ability to leverage the experience for more fulfilling opportunities after you leave.

Cons

Very difficult work environment - extremely political, it combines many of the worst elements of a startup (uncertainty, lack of structure, cult-like worship of leaders) and a big company (hierarchical, hard to advance, lack of trust and needless internal competition). Large amounts of nepotism around promotions. A general culture of fear - middle management is terrified of senior management. While very smart, your colleagues will also be extremely arrogant and willing to do anything to get noticed/promoted. In general, this is not a place to go to make friends or feel like you're working together as part of a team.

Pros

You can coast along and go with the flow. nice offices and food and benefits

Cons

- frantic, reactionary leadership - chaotic & random decision making - hard if you want to actually want to accomplish something and have not been there a while to understand the messy org - senior long time entrenched leaders are so political and not super competent. - lots of great people leaving now - most employees are quite junior in skill, generally just do what they are told and have to be guided.
