Pros

Facebook has a completely transparent and intellectually honest culture, which is incredibly important. The company also cares about making the world a better place, and takes to heart our version of Disney's famous "We don't make movies to make movies, we make movies to make money." We really believe that. The work environment is incredibly fast paced, there is an absolute minimum of red tape and politics, and everyone is empowered to have immediate and massive impact. Feedback is offered quickly, honestly and constructively.

Cons

Expectations are incredibly high, which means that you have to work very hard. Number of hours by themselves are not how you're evaluated, but the amount of work necessary to do a good job is not insignificant. This is not a place where you can screw around and just get by.

Pros

Cons

the company is probably at this stage still too much "US centric" we should organize some more "enterteinment" event to involve clients

Pros

Facebook is the most unique company I have worked for or experienced (and due to the nature of my role, I have been exposed to a lot of different companies in my last two jobs). The company's open culture is mirrored in its facilities (everyone gets a desk, no offices, no cubes), and reinforced all the way up to Mark. It is staffed by some of the smartest people in the world who are industry leaders in whatever it is they do whether it is software engineering, design, public policy, even more traditional functions like HR and Finance! Facebook redefines what it means to be a corporation with its unique move fast and break things culture, its culture of discipline, and its innovative and iterative approach. What I have learned in my two years at Facebook has been far more impactful to my career than all of what I learned in my first 15 years and as such, I still tell everyone that it is an honor for me to have the opportunity just to walk in the door.

Cons

Despite the upsides, it is not all roses at Facebook. It is extremely difficult to get hired at the company given the companies intense focus on culture and values (which is not always accurate). It is also an intense environment, and not for people who are looking to coast. This can be difficult for people with a lot of obligations outside of work. Finally, it is a growing company and with growth comes growing pains. things don't stay the same and people who come to Facebook need to expect that things will evolve while they are here. The best people will see that as a challenge and a leadership opportunity.
