Spectacular engineering talent, but a pretty isolated environment
Front End Engineer • Former Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
February 13, 2015
Pros: The environment is really fast-paced, with a lot of freedom. As Facebook grows, there's more and more of a spectrum of different types of work environments and managerial relationships--all the way from entirely hands-off to much more hand-holding if you need it.
Speaking as a UI engineer: You'll learn more here than pretty much anywhere else. When it comes to UI tech specifically, Facebook seems much more willing to work from first principles and carefully try new concepts at scale than other places.
Cons: Major Silicon Valley companies are frequently a bit isolated. To some extent, that's what makes them good at what they do, by helping them ignore the ways things have been done. In Facebook's case, I found the office environment very isolated from the rest of the area. There are walls all around the campus, and it's across a freeway from the rest of the Menlo Park area, so it takes planning if you want to interact with non-Facebook employees in a typical workday. Being so isolated doesn't seem advantageous as a situation for a company that's trying to make the world more open and connected.

Amazing place to work for the right set of people
Front End Engineer • Current Employee

September 25, 2019
Pros: Ability to choose a team and what to work on.
Ability to define direction and vision.
At times, it feels like an internal start-up inside a giant company.
Cons: Calibrations are done via peer comparisons, and that can be stressful.
