Pros

From the moment you walk in the door, it is very evident the company goes to great lengths to make you feel welcome and cared for. From a slew of on-campus food choices, to a gym, and a Disney-like feel to the campus, the place really pushes the bar to what working at a company feels like on the surface.

Cons

After being with Facebook for some time, the not-so pretty things come to light. They have very aggressive rules for tenure, where you are expected to be promoted or asked to leave the company. Performance reviews at Facebook feel like they are pushing a one-size-fits all model, where they literally represent you as a post-it note on a whiteboard for managers to place on a bell curve against your fellow employees according to how they feel you performed.

Pros

Great benefits and compensation. Lots of different technologies to work on, lots of opportunities for visibility and impact. Good place to learn and explore mobile, full stack and backend infrastructure. Fun place to work when things are going well.

Cons

High stress, lot of turnover. I've had a new manager every year. Some teams have a 24/7 work expectation. Highly competitive, and you are competing with lots of smart people. Seems very difficult to get a promotion and junior people who don't rise fast enough are pushed out. For senior engineers, one bad project or not enough impact and it can be very difficult to course-correct.

Thank you for your feedback. Incremental improvements and sustainable investments in quality are important. We see this in our weekly Q&A meetings when Mark recognizes people during the 'fix-of-the-week' and in celebrating the Faceversaries of tenured employees. That being said, we can and will do better and appreciate your feedback to help us improve.

Pros

The amenities are nice for full-time employees, but it feels like a smoke-screen almost. I feel like we're being blinded into happiness with all these things being thrown at us to take advantage of. I'm starting to see through them and realize what they are truly for...to make you think you are happy and have the best job, and work for the best company ever, when you really don't...they got us by the balls here...

Cons

Laptop and phone each employee is given is not a perk, but a leash...you are always expected to be on them even when you are not at work trying to enjoy the life you are actually working for. Because they have issued you these items, there are no excuses.

In our 'move fast' and 'focus on impact' culture, we know it can be a challenge to find the right level of work/life integration. Please speak candidly with your Manager and HR Business Partner in order to share concerns and explore options. We hope you are able to spend time on the things that are most important to you.
