Pros

It matters: Facebook puts a premium of its people and the culture. It means people will treat you with respect and listen to your thoughts.

Cons

Culture comes first. While we are all encouraged to be our authentic self, if your authentic self is an butt hole, don't bother applying. Sometimes we put feeling ahead of actions as we work through the culture piece. Overall, it is a great way to operate.

Pros

The amount of pros here is ridiculous. You have really nice, smart people as co-workers. The work is insanely interesting and challenging. Lots of room for growth. Free food, insane perks, fantastic pays, etc.

Cons

Working with smart people is a pro and a con. It's easy to stress out about not being the smarted person there. You'll often feel you have to work extra hard to keep up, but thats something you overcome when you realize you wouldn't be there if you aren't qualified. The area described above often affects work/life balance... because people feel this way they tend to work a lot so then you feel like you do too. After a while you find a good balance, but its easy to fall into the trap of constantly being involved in work.

Pros

Facebook hires comparable to the best talent I've worked with in the industry, with regards to smarts -- but also with at least a modicum of social skills :) Enormous opportunity to influence business direction, chase after your own ideas, and really stretch yourself to your fullest potential. Almost everything that should be provided is, without lengthy approval processes, unparalleled trust in employees at all levels (you don't need to be a bigwig to get perks). Employees are empowered to build anything, any app, service, feature. If you are a big fan of autonomy and self-driven growth, Facebook is the place to go. Managers don't bark orders or give commands, but spend the vast majority of their time as a support role, and encouraging leadership between engineers.

Cons

Can be intimidating at times, and coworkers definitely work a lot. Perhaps similarly to startups where everyone is motivated. You have to set your own work-life balance, but flexibility exists to allow you to do so (you never feel intimidated to have to work long hours, it's more of a self-motivation question).
