Smart People, Work-life Blur
Smart People, Work-life Blur
Benefits aside, the best thing about working at Facebook is the people. It is very rare to be the "smartest person in the room". There is always someone who is better than you at something.
This makes Facebook a great place to grow your skills and learn new things. This is made even easier by the friendly and open environment.
Many employees are young and ambitious, which is great. However, one downside to this is that people are eager to push themselves to prove what they are capable of. Facebook is a place where talented people can shine.
This can lead to a self-imposed work/life misbalance.
The company has a great spirit and culture; the main focus should be on preserving it as it grows.
