Pros

- Almost unbelievable autonomy and trust given to engineers; most projects bottom-up vs. top-down - Big, interesting projects are everywhere; if someone is bored at work, they're not trying very hard - Caliber of peers is extremely high - For the most part, rapid adoption (and often creation, e.g. a VM for PHP) of new technologies

Cons

- Many (though not all) engineers tend to work lots of hours, mostly because they just enjoy what they're doing. If this isn't necessarily your lifestyle, you may feel like you're not "keeping up". This is really all in the eye of the beholder, though, as there are many engineers who are very effective and productive and use that to work more limited hours so that they can enjoy family/non-work activities. - Most teams have rotating on-call rotations, wherein the engineer must be available to be paged 24h a day (typically for a period of a week) to respond to issues with their product or service. This is more of a burden for some teams than others (e.g. a core piece of infrastructure vs. a little-used feature). This isn't particularly fun. - Rapid pace of product change means it can be a challenging place to be in infrastructure. This isn't necessarily bad, but it does require a flexibility in planning and mindset, particularly if you come from a company where software releases are measured in months-years.

Pros

Facebook is a place full of bold thinkers who want to use technology to make the world better. The environment is relaxed and fun, but everyone brings an intensity and passion to what they do that makes it an amazing place to work.

Cons

The constant availability of BBQ makes it more of a self-control challenge to hit up the salad bar.
