Pros

I get to work every day on interesting problems together with incredibly smart and committed coworkers. The internal tools we have in place to perform analysis are world class.

Cons

It's very hard to advance your career if you want to have work-life balance. The fast pace and the high demands foster burnout in a lot of employees.

Pros

- Food - Health care benefits - Fringe benefits - Nice campus - Corporate shuttles - State of the art tech stack - Extremely smart coworkers - Visionary and bold top management

Cons

Work/life balance can get hurt as a lot of folks at the office are single and do not understand the needs of having a family. The company is getting bigger. This means more room for backroom politics and aligning people without ruffling people's feathers. Very talented individual contributors (and/or good at politics) are being promoted. As a result, instead of having well rounded managers, you end up having either extremely career driven or super awkward managers. Some of those middle managers are very green, making it even more painful. Some women feel like they have to be extra tough at work because of the Leanin coolaid, making them very hard to work with.

Pros

- World class technology and infrastructure - Brilliant colleagues who care a lot about their work - Challenging problems and impactful - Decisions focus on the data and facts behind an idea vs who's suggesting it

Cons

- Not a con for me, but Facebook is an intense place, driven by smart and passionate people. If you are looking for a place to coast, this aint it. - Commute, if you're living in SF
