Lost a lot of its shine

Pros: Great benefits, great pay, and great people (depending on your team).
Cons: Very top down, tons of thrash as priorities change, and slowly started removing more and more of the things that made FB what it was.
FB used to have a culture, but now everyone is just grinding to stay employed.
Very stressful and almost no WLB, even though they will claim it's important.
