Hired into an executive role at Facebook

Pros

As an establish Silicon Valley executive, Facebook moved fast in courting me and offering me a competitive package. They have excellent on-boarding and training programs: for individual contributors, for managers, and at the executive levels. Senior leadership is very approachable. Its straightforward to find good mentors and collaborative partners. The "social networking" that goes on inside the company is richly informative and generally very positive. Despite being a large company, it retains a youthful feel, with an appetite for risk and decisive action which is dazzling given the scale and the weighty consequences that entails. People are honest and direct, and "company politics" is discouraged by a robust culture that strives to keep alive the best of Facebook-- while also staying pragmatic and adaptable. The company is earnest and generally unflinching in applying its principles. Especially, it moves fast and gets things done. Earnest and purposeful. Human executed processes, around hiring and planning, are tight and well reasoned.

Cons

The company is so driven by short-term impact that it is relatively harder here to carve out large, long-term plans. Work-life balance can be an issue. Separation of professional life and personal life is less here than some might be comfortable with. Internal tools and quality can be lacking -- but there is a rising commitment toward changing that.

Pros

My manager and team are phenomenal. Everyone I have gotten to work is brilliant, respectful, courteous, helpful and fun to be around. The mission at Facebook is motivating and speaks the truth about the culture.

Cons

This company is very fast-paced. If you are not willing to put in the work and time, you will fall behind. You need to be self-sufficient to be successful here.
