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: - Good work - Good pay - Can work in many teams

Cons: - none for now since I haven't been here long

Pros: Managers generally have your back. The streamlined review process is less intrusive than it used to be. Even when operating in frugal mode, they still spend a lot more on employee happiness than companies like Microsoft.

Cons: Lots of the AR/VR bets are years from landing, and consequently there's a lack of discipline to trim the fat from projects. Internal communications tend to have a very high noise:signal ratio. Often, it feels like playing a game of telephone between various teams and messaging.
