Getting it done
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
November 13, 2012
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.
