Process
I knew based on the reactions of the interviewers that it was very probably a bust, but overall a good experience and something I will learn from. Very disappointing in the LA area – and to work on their super high scalability issues, but such is life.

Excellent Benefits, Great Work Environment
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
September 8, 2015
Pros: Everything is good. Most great is the free food and four months of paid maternity/paternity leave, with no force to join work back.
Cons: I found no cons; a great company to work with. Tough to get a job that's all about Facebook.

A good place to start a career with lots of benefits, but it is likely you will have to work hard for it too
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
March 8, 2025
Pros: - In general, a good place to start your career, as it's likely that you will be surrounded by very smart and capable coworkers who understand the systems and the industry very well.
- Many benefits:
* Strong 401K match
* Wellness budget
* Good dental, vision, and health insurance
- Free food at the office.
Cons: Lots of things are structured around performance culture (optimizing for the current half's performance review).
Depending on the organization, there can be some pressure to get something out or to ship.
Communication from upper management or leaders can be very slow and sometimes comes as a shock.
