Oncalls can kill your sleep during your oncall shift if things are noisy overnight There's a little bit of an "always on-the-grid" culture which contributes towards the 4/5 work/life balance, but it's generally not too hard to fight it. Most people who work a lot end up doing it because they're passionate about their work, anyway.

1. If you are in ops, it is really hard to have leverage, since it is an engineering-centric company, which is expected and ops is considered more "support" and "cleaning up the mess" type of role. 2. Because FB is quite the name, it is easier to hire a new person than hire someone internally. Since every single employee here, there are tons of other talented people outside that can be hired. So turnover happens for those that burnout or are stagnating in their roles and cannot progress. If you are in a non-tech role, it can feel like you are "replaceable" because there are 100's if not 1000's of people waiting in line to get your role that does something that is not as advanced as coding or building production code. 3. work/life balance as most say can take a toll on you, but this is up to you take control. 4. because everyone is really talented and the best, it is hard to get promoted unless you are the most prolific unicorn amongst all of the unicorns. It is still, however, a good starting point if you get hired.
