A great place to work
Software Engineer • Current Employee
February 23, 2012
Pros: Great potential to move up in the chain. There are full of smart people in the company and a lot of potential to move up.
Cons: There is no diversity in the workplace. They need to understand that people of different backgrounds are needed for the future growth of the company.

Facebook is amazing
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: They really care about you. Flexible about working from home.
Cons: Location of the office (very hard to get to)
2.0
Fun at the engineer-to-engineer level, but brutally long hours and badly disconnected front-line management
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Palo Alto, California, United States
January 2, 2012
Pros: Huge corporate upside potential (but might not apply to new hires as of 2012).
Fun work environment (free quality food, game rooms, frivolity encouraged, etc.).
High impact in terms of people using your code and recognition.
Good opportunities to try new ideas and move teams.
Cons: Brutally long hours for many, frequent pressure to delay or cancel vacation plans (even outside of release deadlines).
Harsh, unjust, and badly cross-team calibrated reviews, coupled with frequent firings, so that the stick is very close to the carrot.
It has now grown large enough that internal corporate politics have seeped in.
Management, at all levels, is fixated on lots of shiny new features, no matter how broken, and lacks respect for necessary work getting done.
