I spent five years at Facebook, and it was probably the best place I've ever worked.

The people were fantastic (except a the ex G and Amazon folks who were a lot less fun to work with), the problems were fun and the culture and tools were phenomenal.

Granted, I don't agree with what they're doing in this article, but if you think they're the only big tech company that does this, I have a bunch of bridges to sell you ;)

Generally, large, publicly traded companies tend to behave like psychopaths, but personally I think FB held out a lot longer than most.

Can I ask what kind of problems you enjoyed working on there?
Honestly, fixing ads related data science problems gave me a lot of satisfaction. I fully admit to being a weirdo, though.
