Pros: Facebook values your time by removing most obstacles that prevent you from being productive. You're surrounded by highly competent, hard-working coworkers. Collaboration across disciplines (engineering, design, content strategy, user research, data science, growth marketing, product management) is very good. The semi-yearly evaluation process is fair and focused on personal growth. The executives care deeply about the employees and the people who use our products.

Cons: The productivity expectation is very high. Engineering on-call rotations can sometimes be very difficult. Some teams can be too data-driven, focusing on only their top-level metrics without investing in projects which improve quality of life.

Pros: - Pay is top of market. - Coworkers are very smart. - RSUs are very competitive and performed well in my time there.

Cons: Extremely political, with lots of people playing games to try and take credit for others' work or push blame around. At review time, one person deciding they don't like you can claim that you hurt their feelings one time, and based on anecdotal evidence alone, kill your promo or lower your rating. You are constantly walking on eggshells. Code quality tends to be poor. To be fair, the product isn't exactly critical to the day-to-day operations of the world, and Facebook being down for a few hours isn't going to kill anyone. Teams focus on getting products out as quickly as possible with little concern for quality or maintainability. There is no QA department, and you will not be rewarded for taking extra time to make your project high quality.

Pros: * Awesome Benefits * Good career progression * Good WLB

Cons: The company's public image isn't good.
