August 3, 2023
Pros: Benefits and compensation are great. Also, Facebook's scale and reach mean that you can touch lots of people and traffic.
Cons: Facebook's Darwinian way of operating is great for small things, but not big ones.
The company rewards risk-taking (usually great), but is so focused on encouraging risks and experimentation that anyone trying to do anything difficult enough to span multiple teams and managers has an uphill battle.
