I've had a hybrid role for the past 4 years where I get unlimited sick days (well 14 really until fmla kicked in), 3 weeks of vacation, 3 personal days. I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

soo my sleep schedule is effed up, i keep trying to wake up early-ish (7am) but i’m lacking motivation and i wake up tired 😴
i stumbled upon this article that talked about this book. we always hear about the “secret” of strong leaders is that they wake up early. has anyone read this/tried it out?

Full 401k match, 1/3 reimbursement for any class you want to take (I used it to learn Spanish and race driving), internet reimbursement for when you work at home, 15% bonus target that’s easily 30% for top performers, generous flight caps that result in mostly business travel, plenty of internal mobility, can bring your dog to work, free physical fitness classes
People being allowed to bring their dogs to work makes me not want to work there.
Plus free breakfast, lunch, dinner, dry cleaning, etc
Dry cleaning would be nice. I’d use that
These are just the ones I use. The food and the pinball machines aren’t main focus
my friends at Facebook (up to Sandberg, Cox direct reports) all took less money money to be there. if they joined in the early teens they made money because the stock went up 6x. but people who joined more recently won't be so lucky. it's a great brand (career wise) and a phenomenal place to learn some very valuable skills and be tested by other brilliant people...and I think that's why most of them work there. if you can make it at Facebook, you'll be a star a lot of places.
Deloitte OP - interesting question. This article gives some indication.
A few highlights:
- $$ with new child to help cover expenses
- 21 vacation days as new hire
- unlimited sick days
- free meals all day (not just snacks)
- free health insurance
- low co-pays
- free dry cleaning
- reimbursed gym membership
- free bike repairs

OP - don't take the offer. Let the next person in line have it. They will most likely see more value in it than you.
Don’t they also have professional level work-out facilities
It’s also weird that you didn’t ask these questions during your interviews. There’s a PC way to do so. Seems like you didn’t do enough research if you can’t answer this question.
So what im seeing is OP was talking from ignorance. Figures
Facebook is one of the best places to work for, for a reason. Perks and benefits are amazing
I was S&O when I started but transferred to PM about a year ago
Another Googler here - for me it's what G1 and G2 said, but also the chance to work on something or support products that impact people's lives in a positive way. I also get to go home everyday to have dinner with my family. That to me is priceless.
The secret sauce at Google or Facebook is that you don’t really work that much for a lot of pay and benefits. If you’re smart enough to figure out how not to get fired it’s pretty gravy
^Goals
Benefits are too many to list and have been covered above, but FB is just incredible and I absolutely cannot imagine working elsewhere at this point 😍 Amazing culture, people, and of course, perks
Another recent switcher to the cool tech company space...there are definitely pros & cons to the job. The perks are AMAZING, obviously. My 1st week on the job we had surf & turf dinner & raw oyster bar for lunch & my jaw was sweeping the floor all week. There’s a lot of investment in keeping employees happy. However, there are certainly downsides, especially depending on what team you’re on & what the culture is. I’m a program manager & used to working at 150% from consulting days. It takes EONS to make decisions, get any traction on projects, etc. It can be incredibly frustrating. There’s also unclear progression between levels - it’s not like in consulting where you do your 2 years as staff, 3 years as sr, etc etc. you’re at a level....until they are ready to move you up/enough people at the level above leave. Could take 6 months (rarely), could take 2-3 years. One word of advice....DEFINITELY ask your recruiter what level you’re joining at, and do some comparison research on what each level means relative to consulting & other companies. They come with very significant pay/bonus/equity differences

I don’t know if FB has quite the breadth of perks we do, but I do know my friends at FB have enough perks to remain satisfied. I have heard the internal mobility at FB is much less than Google, but I imagine it has to be, because FB is a lot smaller with less offerings in terms of products. 🤷🏿♀️
OP - focus on people. do you want to work with this team? do you enjoy these people? you'll be spending a lot of time with them in challenging discussions. don't worry about the silos, the company still has tons of organic growth left so there will be great stuff to do over the next 5 years, no doubt.
