Nothing more important than moving fast

Pros

Flexible hours. Healthy food, dynamic/ energetic environment. Working with top-notch engineers/ analysts in the world.

Cons

Work/ Life balance is very challenging. When your boss pings you, they expect you to respond within few seconds; managers would put you on the spot all the time in order to drive you. Things changed very fast with many re-orgs. The whole working environment is very competitive, not much personal level connection w/ colleagues. Top priority is to get things done fast, morality is low.

Pros

- Fantastic management team, really amazing that even with over 20K employees everyone knows the mission of the company and aligns - Well compensated compared to industry average and comes with a host of benefits including travel, free food, gym etc - People are so smart - always a learning opportunity to be had - Fantastic company culture - love how the company sticks to its core, e.g. weekly Q&As with Zuck, openness and transparency in the company strategy

Cons

- Difficult to maintain work-life balance, always on approach - Sometimes the lack of resources/processes was a frustration, would result in much more self-admin and sometimes I thought we were very highly paid adminstrators - With the need to grow desperation to hire quickly became a burden, meaning the most experienced team members spent a lot of time hiring rather than their core job - Upwards progression can be difficult as the nature of the company is quite flat and intentionally non-hierarchical. Means that progression into management and senior roles can be very difficult

Pros

Lots of freedom - you are the master of your own career. You get full credit for your achievements (with a cost of taking full responsibility). Retains its "move fast" culture - you can get a lot of meaningful work done. Smart and proficient colleagues - you can learn a lot regardless of your level! Compensation is fair and sweet.

Cons

Forget about work/life balance. In fact, forget about work/sleep balance. Management does nothing to deal with the problem. Horrible working conditions. Wide and extremally noisy open spaces (impossible to concentrate), tiny desks, lines in restrooms, unavailable meeting rooms. I do most of my meaningful work from home. Management refuses to acknowledge the problem and praises facilities, so no chance of this being fixed. A strong political bias coming all the way from the top that pollutes working climate.
