Pros

The office environment is good in general, also having a big name on your resume may be good for the future. Most of the colleagues are very prepared technically.

Cons

As company grows they are trying to cut costs, objectives are unrealistically set, bonuses and promotions are considerably lower. If you work here on visa, pay increases and promotions are slowed down even more. Mid management gets packed with responsibilities, the individual contribution is no longer relevant, the general philosophy seems to be "it's normal for people to leave the company" and that happens regularly after every performance cycle or stock vesting time. To counterbalance this, company seems to brainwash employees with slogans, posters are everywhere around the office to make "the culture", many company employees believe and talk with slogans. Life/work balance is simply set to "no life". I've seen managers complain if someone takes more than one week off in a row, or making jokes about family duties the first day someone returns from parental leave.

Pros

* Working at Facebook looks good on your resume * I am never hungry * Pay is ok for what the work is

Cons

God help anyone who joins this team. The managers cant lead their way out of paper bag. One manager especially is gross. She backstabs and manipulates everyone. When called out for any bias they ignore it. Also a few months ago they decided to give everyone the Research Program Manager title, regardless of level or experience so now junior recruiting coordinators share the same title as people with M.B.A.s.. There is no support for your impact and only the favorites get recognized. Pulse scores won’t change anything. I can’t wait to leave and let the next poor soul be miserable in my place. Facebook is not a bad company I really just cannot stand this team. If anyone from HR is reading this, take a look at recent transitions/exits and notice the pattern for why people are leaving.

Pros

- The benefits: free food, laundry, shuttle transportation, business class on international flights, full health, dental, vision, decent 401k plan w/match - The things that you will learn and trainings you can take, you can learn from the best in the business. -Depending on your team and manager, you can have a lot of autonomy on projects.

Cons

- Bad press affects the entire company and morale (morale is really low right now) - Researcher pay is a joke (especially when considering equity). - Recent culture shift as they are hiring more and more people who are not authentic and expect too much. - They care more about the business needs than they do about the employees.
