RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Facebook
Pros
- Supportive team. - Talented coworkers. - Free food and amenities. - Decent WLB (my team is chill).
Cons
I didn't have any complaints about my experience working there, but I think the company as a whole could work better on PR. A minor one may be more intern events, but I nonetheless got to know some good peers.
Pros
Free food, a lot of extra events, very nice and kind people
Cons
your manager as an intern might not be very involved

Pros
Awesome place to learn about engineering and management. At least, in a big company at scale. You can almost live on campus. I guess I mostly spent on rent and gas. Free food, showers, gym, ~700 dollars on external wellness activity, paternity leave, and lots of small perks to simplify your life. FB fosters quite a friendly culture. At least, on the level of engineers. Semiannual reviews partially evaluate how good your relationships with the colleagues. FB is very good at employee retention. Management will try hard to find interesting projects for you. Lots of projects that may bring a great impact. Quite unique projects at scale. Lots of pocket communities with interesting activities. Good compensation.
Cons
Lots of big politics around the company. There is always pressure from the government, society, the media, and even from own employees represented by a vocal left-leaning group. You will also get the part of this pressure as an employee. Noisy environment. Sometimes it's good to have people around, but often you'll find yourself distracted. The company likes open spaces, MPK 20 is a living nightmare, though MPK 21 was designed better. No digital nomad options, except big work-from-home mode right now. Code quality is diverse. Some open-source libraries/frameworks are brilliant. Check folly or react. The non-public part totally depends on the team. HQ, the biggest part of the company, is located in Menlo Park. The place has a nice nature around but has certain issues with the rent price, infrastructure, and gender ratio. Young unmarried man should think twice before moving to the Bay Area, .

Thank you for your feedback and your contribution in helping Facebook hire great talent into the company, more than likely I had the chance to work with you in the Recruitment team, so if I know you: "Hi again"! Appreciated the shout out on environment, benefits, culture and culinary, we think long and hard about and invest a lot of time and resources into our facilities, culture and employee experience so appreciate the feedback there.
