Meta

There are an endless amount of pros about working at Facebook. If I were to pick one pro out of all of them, it's the people. Whatever you heard or read about Facebook really doesn't give the place enough credit. I'm not in HR/recruiting or even management, but I do see a common trend in everyone they bring on board. Everyone is smart, motivated, non-judgmental, and freakishly CARING. There are so many people with heart at FB.

To be honest, you can be one heck of a coder, but if you're selfish, I don't think you will get hired here. I've previously worked at Google and MSFT; FB blows both of them out of the water (maybe I'm a little biased). Other pros, of course, are:

• Free world-class food options all day long on the main campus cafeteria (MPK 20/21). This includes great snacks/drink options everywhere else as well.
• Fantastic PPO/HMO healthcare options. The premiums are very reasonable.
• Resources. They will give you everything you need so you can do an amazing job – period. Hardware, software, etc...
• Did I mention the people? :)

FB (especially MPK) is expanding very fast. Things get unorganized and chaotic. Communicating with colleagues in international branch offices can be tricky.

At the end of the day, we spend most of our time with the people we work with. Keep bringing on great, empathic people. I really think it has transformed the culture (in a super duper positive way).
