Great perks, but limited growth opportunities
Software Engineer • Former Employee

May 18, 2017
Pros: From the moment you walk in the door, it is very evident the company goes to great lengths to make you feel welcome and cared for.
From a slew of on-campus food choices, to a gym, and a Disney-like feel to the campus, the place really pushes the bar to what working at a company feels like on the surface.
Cons: After being with Facebook for some time, the not-so pretty things come to light. They have very aggressive rules for tenure, where you are expected to be promoted or asked to leave the company.
Performance reviews at Facebook feel like they are pushing a one-size-fits-all model, where they literally represent you as a post-it note on a whiteboard for managers to place on a bell curve against your fellow employees according to how they feel you performed.

Cons: None really, for the internship at least. It's almost like a mini vacation.
