Good, but still a job.

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Well known perks are awesome (food, medical etc.), a lot of smart people and fun things to do if you find the time, bragging rights, ability to escalate friends' problems with FB.

Cons

High pressure to perform, focus on impact means that even doing a good job on a project doesn't mean you would be commended, review feedback cycles are a drain, zero appreciation for quality, bug fixing or assisting others - engineers are only assessed by new features that can be shown to provide measurable impact to a metric that management cares about. Codebase is messy due to a lot of people (especially inexperienced) moving fast.

A lot of good engineers and a lot of good engineering problems. It makes a good environment to learn and grow

It's big enough that there is significant differences in engineering culture within the company.
