Pros: Good benefits, offices, food, and everything.

Cons: Bad work-life balance, revenue stream, upper management.

Pros: Disclaimer: This is my particular insight into working in engineering at Facebook. The people here are smart. Very much so. The people here are driven. Even more so. If a challenge comes up, people come together and solve it and do it correctly; the buck doesn't get passed. The product is very engineer-driven. If you're interested in product work but love the task of actually building it, Facebook is a good fit. I was choosing between Product Management at Google and Engineering at Facebook, and I think I made the right call for me.

Cons: Biggest con for me is that they are in Menlo Park, and I live in San Francisco. They run very efficient shuttles, but that's only second best to having a close office.

Pros: Awesome company. Tons of opportunities and challenges. Best compensation and culture in the industry.

Cons: Every engineer, regardless of level, works more independently than at most other companies. This can be a challenge for people fresh out of college with no industry experience.
