A truly great workplace
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
November 13, 2012
Pros: Great co-workers - Facebook employs extraordinary people. Working with such amazing people makes all the difference.
Open environment - Facebook encourages you to break boundaries. You are always welcome to come up with new ideas, crazy as they seem.
Great benefits and perks - The campus in MPK is amazing: gym, food, laundry, coffee, doctor – everything for the employees. The 4-month parental leave wasn't bad either.
Cons: Facebook outside MPK is not as great.
The remote locations don't have the same range of perks and won't be as great to work for.
