      Bureaucracy and politics galore

      Data science manager
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary is top of the industry Benefits, food, amenities are top-notch

      Cons

      Endless bureaucracy - the amount of time spent convincing leadership and XFNs that something is worth doing far exceeds the amount of time spent doing it. Politics and turf wars - multiple teams are competing for ownership over the same decisions. Directors will employ their teams as pawns to gain turf and evaluate them on their ability to do so. People treated as competition, not partners - FB will intentionally pit peers to out-do each other, seeing this as a motivational tactic. Churn and turnover - as priorities, ownership, and methodologies change, those part of the prior regime are cast aside. Contractor (ab)use - tens of thousands of contractors doing work indistinguishable from FTEs, being paid less and without benefits and fired at the drop of a hat.

      A place like no other

      Software engineer

      Pros

      - Quite possibly the best benefits of any company in the U.S - 3 meals a day - You get to work on challenging problems at a an enormous scale - Autonomy to work on the things you want - You work with some of amazing infrastructure tools to make your workflow as efficient as possible. If an industry tool can't keep up with Facebook's scale, they'll just engineer its own solution. I think that speaks to its engineering culture. - You work with some of the smartest people in the industry. - An extremely open culture that's very self critical of itself.

      Cons

      - Depending on the team you join, work life balance can be less than adequate. This is flexible however. If you seek help, you'll get it. I think its somewhat imbued within the facebook culture to work as hard as possible to make as much impact as possible. It's really up to you to communicate WLB issues, if it exists, to your team and manager to make it work for you. I don't think people here are generally working hard to outcompete one another. It's just that everyone is super intelligent and are hard workers in general before they joined facebook.

      Simultaneously the best and worst experience

      Pros

      The positive impact that the company is having all over the world is outstanding even if the company doesn't share this externally. There are many professional development opportunities to allow you keep growing. The perks could be a pro like free food, laundry, salon, etc. but I personally found it to feel like the company wants to keep you there instead of going home and having social interactions with people outside of Facebook. But, if you don' t have a strong social support network, it's a great set up. My co-workers were by far the best part of the company!

      Cons

      The hiring process is very strange as they hire people without knowing what team they'll be on, allowing for an opportunity to be placed on a team that's not a great fit, and then being stuck in it and not being able to move around until at least a year in. HR seems most concerned about protecting the company rather than really listening to employees and their concerns. There is a lot of turnover lately...I had 4 managers in about a 9 month span, which leads to really confusing situations. They also keep bad managers in their positions, even if there have been multiple concerns raised about them from a whole team. The values the company promotes are great in theory, but I don't see them in practice.
