The best company you can work for!

Pros: I love working with the smartest people on the planet and problems at incredible scale. The open culture is a bit shocking at first, but you'll get used to it.
You are only limited by your own skills and imagination. Having a 6-week bootcamp where you just learn how things work and have virtually zero obligations is a great way of onboarding people. I worked with 4 different teams before deciding what I want to focus on and couldn't be happier.
Cons: If you have worked in the industry for a while, it's hard to transition to FB culture. The culture infra teams try really hard to hold your hand, but there is only so much they can do.

Great company to work for
Production Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: You get a lot of autonomy and are trusted to make the right decision. High performance is expected, but it is also recognized and rewarded with promotions/raises.
Very interesting and diverse technical challenges. If something is broken, you're free to work with other teams on stuff that affects your team.
No BS attitude and not much politics happening at the office.
Cons: With all perks you get, some people lose themselves and forget to do their job - that's a quick way to get fired.
Not a good place if you don't like changes or learning new stuff all the time.
