Facebook Jobs
Life at Facebook
"Facebook is not so much a job as it is a way of life. You don't go home at the end of a day and forget about work, you go home and think about it; not because you have deadlines or because you have to, but because you are excited about what you are building. Your role is limited only by your energy, not by your title or your seniority. If you want to create a new product, it is yours to build. If you want to contribute on another product, just speak up. The energy and passion of the people working around you here is a constant reminder of how much we all believe in what we are doing."
"I know plenty of people who start a new job and get stuck doing the unimportant tasks that have very little impact on the company - sometimes it's years before you get the chance to contribute something significant. But in just three months at Facebook, I've helped launch the photo printing feature as well as designing and implementing the new Facebook Platform site. Both of these are seen and used everyday by Facebook's millions of users (including many of my friends and peers). I'd have to say that feels pretty awesome."
"Every person I came into contact with was intelligent, welcoming, and straightforward. I never had to navigate any sort of politics or confusion as to what people wanted from me... I was able to expand beyond just the marketing department and help out in sales, product, and development. At a start-up, there's plenty of work to go around, and anyone with something to contribute - an idea, a talent, time, passion - will be appreciated for these qualities. My English degree had qualified me to write, but more importantly, it qualified me to think; my intelligence is truly valued as a part of the Facebook team."
