Internal tooling: Coming from Microsoft, the internal tooling here is nothing short of incredible. Everything just works, and it's mostly consistent throughout the entire company.

• Everyone uses the same code review process.
• Everyone uses the same build tools.
• Everyone uses the same check-in process (per repository).
• Everyone uses the same employee feedback process.
• etc...

There are also lots of internal services that are really helpful: services for deployment, managing configuration, A/B testing, etc. Because everyone uses the same tools, everyone invests in them, and they're well-documented and easy to learn.

People: Everyone I've worked with is really smart and happy to lend a helping hand. Haven't had any issues so far.

Work: I've enjoyed the kind of problems that I get to solve at Facebook much more than the kind of problems I got to solve at Microsoft. I worked on four different teams at Microsoft. The problems here are more challenging and require scalable, efficient solutions.

Culture: The culture here is fantastic. Internally, there is a lot of transparency. There isn't too much politics. You can make improvements on part of the codebase. There isn't much process to slow you down. There is a lot of individual freedom in what you prioritize and work on.

Work-life balance: I've had great work-life balance here. I typically work 35-40 hours a week, and I've not once stayed late for dinner. On-call is pretty light—much easier than on-call at Microsoft. This might vary by team.

Food: Really good food. Lots of healthy options (and unhealthy options if you want a cheat day).

Benefits: Pretty happy with the benefits. The transportation options are really good. The baby benefits are great.
