Pros

Facebook's mission is meaningful, it's perks are awesome, pay is good, and the team is phenomenal. In general, almost everything about working at Facebook is as good as you think it is.

Cons

My concerns are mostly minor. However, because Facebook hires strong talent at EVERY position, in some cases where strong talent is hired in positions that aren't core to the success of the business (read: if you're not an engineer, product manager, or maayyyybeeee a key sales person), it can be frustrating as your job is just not that important to the company's success. Hungry, ambitious people in these sorts of situations (as Facebook tends to recruit) can get disengaged and frustrated by these facts.

Pros

Amazing perks, super transparent company, very little boundaries to communication. You can pretty much talk to anyone at a whim except Mark. It makes getting things down a breeze. Super laid-back, younger vibe. A lot of energy and excitement around the future. It's also nice that the company is so successful; it's motivating to know that they are moving in the right direction and have had wild success in the past

Cons

There's so much autonomy that direction from above isn't quite there. There's no product development process. The success of your product is very much up to how good your PM is or whatever process the team has lifted from other companies. PMs can be really clueless or junior sometimes, but other times, they're out of this world. Very metrics driven. It is frustrating to be so tied to metrics that better experiences don't ship or some really crappy product gets developed because of a metrics goal.
