Pros

- So many perks it is hard to keep track of them. - TC package high, even compared to other FANG - take this with a pinch of salt as there are very good reasons why this is the case. - Nice office spaces as the offices start reopening. - Smart colleagues to interact with - although most have devolved into code factories.

Cons

- It's quite a feat how Facebook has produced such garbage systems despite hiring so many smart people. - The PSC culture here is a not a growth mechanism but more of a whip, you will be pushed hard here even if you are a strong engineer. Expect long work hours, little team work as everyone pushes their own agenda independently to make their PSC goals and survive. - Diffs per day is the measure used here not quality. There is not much to learn from Senior engineers here as most of them are just code monkeys that are pushing more code than others but of equally poor quality.
