Pros

Amazing perks, super transparent company, very little boundaries to communication. You can pretty much talk to anyone at a whim except Mark. It makes getting things down a breeze. Super laid-back, younger vibe. A lot of energy and excitement around the future. It's also nice that the company is so successful; it's motivating to know that they are moving in the right direction and have had wild success in the past

Cons

There's so much autonomy that direction from above isn't quite there. There's no product development process. The success of your product is very much up to how good your PM is or whatever process the team has lifted from other companies. PMs can be really clueless or junior sometimes, but other times, they're out of this world. Very metrics driven. It is frustrating to be so tied to metrics that better experiences don't ship or some really crappy product gets developed because of a metrics goal.

Pros

Facebook is full of extremely capable and smart people. The lines are very short, and it's easy to get a hold of the right person to talk to on any topic. There's no red tape, so it's really up to you to have a big impact on the product and the world. People who make a big impact are recognized and rewarded, regardless of their job title or level of experience. The company's leadership truly believes in Facebook's mission to make the world more open and connected. Teams are small and have a lot of autonomy, and it's amazing to see how much of a difference a single person can make at this place.

Cons

The downside having so much going on all at once is that it takes energy and discipline to stay focused on those things that matter most. You need to embrace this challenge to get the most out of your experience.
