Pros

At Facebook you're given the opportunity to affect billions of people's lives every day. As long as you can make a case for why this will improve people's experience or metrics, you can do whatever you want.

Cons

In many parts of the engineering organization, you are expected to set your own goals and will be held accountable to them. If you're used to working in an environment where you're told exactly what to do, this might not be for you.

Pros

If you're smart and good at software engineering, this place is the best for your career development. Excellent people, excellent food, excellent pay.

Cons

If you're rather new to the industry, you can struggle. Sometimes moving too fast at an early stage won't be good for your overall development throughout the years. NO WORK-LIFE BALANCE at all.
