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.

Pros: PE has the same comp as SWE, and Meta provides competitive benefits, like a higher 401K employer match.
Cons: PE has fewer teams to choose from when considering internal transfer or initial joining. If in any locations instead of MPK, the choices are even fewer.
