Pros

+ Smart/energetic people around you to make yourself better + Relative flat management for a company at this size + Projects that influence people + Probably the best café in all IT companies at the moment. Thomas Keller, Gary Danko theme, etc. + Work for fun. You can still keep a life if you are good at what you are doing. :)

Cons

- None I can think of at the moment

Pros

- Super talented co-workers - Facebook really is changing the world - Very easy to have a large impact inside the company - Strong focus on enabling everyone to do their best work. In particular this means focusing on keeping non productive overhead to a minimum, giving everyone the hardware, training, etc they need to succeed, preventing unhealthy corporate politics and continuously looking for ways to make engineers more productive

Cons

Changing the world is hard work, but everyone really believes in what we are doing which makes it fun at the same time

Pros

* Free food * Fun people * "Don't ask for permission, just go do it" culture * The code I write goes in to production in a matter of days * A vast distribution of incredibly interesting problems to work on (often hard to choose from) * Management knows they can't really shove anything on to anyone. If they want to see something get done a different way, it's up to them to persuade not to force (I've worked in 3 completely different groups in the company and this was a consistent theme)

Cons

* Each engineer has tons of responsibility. This can honestly be stressful sometimes as you're on point for keeping it all running * I live in the city and, while the commuter shuttles (with wifi) make commuting about as bearable as it possibly can be, it's still less than ideal to have about an hour between work and home.
