Pros

Smart people, pretty close to meritocratic. Interesting challenges, high levels of transparency, and super flat hierarchies considering the size of the company.

Cons

Due to emphasis on promoting managers from individual contributors, some managers are not great at people management.

Because of limited top-down management, sometimes you end up in tech debt that might've been avoided.

Facebook is not really set up for employees with families, although they are getting better.

Someone is always smarter than you...
