Meta

• Smart, hardworking people
• Great internal tools and tech
• You get a lot of freedom as an employee, and your ideas are valued by your manager and your peers if they are good.
• Great perks
  • Free food: Great cafeteria and decent selection of snacks and drinks at the micro-kitchen, plus two bars :)
  • Decent gym allowance

• No work-life balance. To be fair, a fair number of people at FB work 40-hour weeks and are pretty successful, but it's not uncommon for people to work 10 hours a day or more, or work on a weekend because they are overloaded with work to do. A lot of people (including me) don't have any friends outside of work.

• The whole "We're changing the world" thing starts to get old after a while.

You're doing a great job, keep it up!

I'm not sure what can be done to address the work-life balance issue, but in my mind, that's the only major issue with working at Facebook.
