Pros

Facebook's environment is fast-paced and exciting. New problems jump up at you all the time, and it is a joy to work towards fixing them. It is really a problem solver's dream. Management generally does whatever they can to aid in the solving of problems and removing roadblocks. The process overhead is kept to a minimum, and we are encouraged to point out areas that are too encumbered by process. The perks on campus are excellent and varied. The people that I get to work with on a day-to-day basis are enjoyable and very intelligent.

Cons

Mostly due to the speed that Facebook moves, we tend to accumulate a lot of technical debt.

This debt is allowed to lay dormant until it becomes a major problem and then is addressed.

I wish we could do more to address this technical debt before it became a problem.
