Business Outlook
Pros
The work: Facebook is growing fast which means there's a lot of opportunity for career growth if you're motivated. My co-workers range from good to stupendously great engineers, and I've seen no sign yet of a decrease in quality in the new hires. The product: It's an incredibly rare opportunity to build products that are used by 1/6th of the world's population. I can visit the most far flung corners of the world, walk into a cafe and see people using the thing I've built to connect to their friends and loved ones.
Cons
It can be stressful at times, and maintaining work life balance is tricky. I think this is mostly an internally driven thing rather than imposed by the company, but it is what it is.
