Facebook is the best engineering organization I have ever worked for
A bureaucracy-free environment that allows you to simply get work done.
Strong management with strong technical backgrounds all the way to the top.
A very metric-driven engineering team.
The ability to prioritize tasks based on what you think is important.
A remarkably well-defined review process that encourages personal development in different areas.

Don't stop being open and transparent.
Daytime hackathons to encourage more participation for engineers with family commitments.
Improve recruiting's ability to filter candidates so engineering interviews have a lower reject rate.
