Pros: Perks and pay are top-notch. Some of the engineers are truly talented.

Cons: As the title says, FB is not for everybody, in my opinion. The recent set of 1-star ratings list pretty much all the things that made me leave: * Questionable work-life balance * No planning/structure * Arrogant/ignorant coworkers * Every person for themselves * Cliques * Political environment * Inept managers * Poor communication/rumor mill/back-stabbing * No teamwork * Management by attention-deficit disorder The work-life-balance issue goes beyond the mere hours. It is expected that you become FB friends with all your coworkers, managers, etc. FB makes it impossible for the realm of your private life to remain separate from your workplace and coworkers. This wasn't working for me, but I recognize that for others this isn't an issue. It seemed to me that much that is broken at FB is perpetuated by the in-clique, and in fact gets sold as the great achievements of FB's unique culture.

Pros: Good benefits, teaches you a lot. Good entry for freshmen, very amazing food.

Cons: There is no cons meta is cracked

Pros: Compensation & perks Autonomy Work on cool things

Cons: - Stress - PSC - Current downturn & layoffs
