Pros

- really smart people to work with - culture of empowerment - freedom to do what makes the most sense - tons of challenging problems and opportunities

Cons

- none, really - there are a couple of old timer employees here and there who're no longer effective/productive because the growth of the company has outstripped their abilities. This leads to a couple of oddities in some parts of the company. It's pretty rare though, and not a major problem.

Pros

Lots of freedom to choose what you work on and lots of responsibility from day 1; the people are amazing and the speed of iteration can be crazy.

Cons

There's always a lot to do and at times it can be hard to keep up with what's happening around you.

Pros

The work: Facebook is growing fast which means there's a lot of opportunity for career growth if you're motivated. My co-workers range from good to stupendously great engineers, and I've seen no sign yet of a decrease in quality in the new hires. The product: It's an incredibly rare opportunity to build products that are used by 1/6th of the world's population. I can visit the most far flung corners of the world, walk into a cafe and see people using the thing I've built to connect to their friends and loved ones.

Cons

It can be stressful at times, and maintaining work life balance is tricky. I think this is mostly an internally driven thing rather than imposed by the company, but it is what it is.
