Pros

If you are an engineer, you owe it to yourself to work at Facebook at some point of time. Super smart collegue, minimal BS and super high impact.

Cons

* Growing too fast. * Hacky culture doesn't bound well for code quality.

Pros

Culture, culture and more culture. The first thing you will notice as a new employee at Facebook is the multitude of social events both in office and offsite. There is always something fun to do that helps you engage with coworkers that you may not have come in contact with in your normal work day! I truly enjoy my coworkers and find myself hanging out with them even for non-facebook events, its great!

Cons

It is a very fast pace environment and it takes time to really find that work life/personal life balance.
