A good way to jumpstart your career
A good way to jumpstart your career
Facebook has a lot of awesome people working there to solve interesting problems at scale.
They have over a billion active users a month and a lot of smart engineers working to keep their software great.
The benefits and pay are obviously great, and since it's a well-known company, it's a good place to start if you're looking to get recognized at other tech companies and startups.
If you're looking to solve "new" problems and build new things, Facebook is probably not the ideal place for you. They occasionally work on new features, but a lot of work is put into improving or rehashing what they currently have. This is what I spent most of my time on while I was there. It was still pretty fun, though.
Facebook sometimes claims to be a startup, but it's not in most aspects the average software engineer would be concerned with. While engineers do have access to a lot of information and code, the company is too big for one person to have a major impact on product or engineering decisions.
