Pros

When I first started, FB was a great company with an amazing culture. Team lunches, quarterly outings, awesome people who really cared. Great CEO who kept things positive. Unfortunately, things have gone downhill.

Cons

Compensation was lower than average. They also started hiring too many managers with major egos who had no clue how to manage. They had a standing ‘no a$$holes’ policy which has sadly become ironic. Employees were being fired frequently - at least one a month - presumably to improve productivity and morale. Brilliant, eh?

Pros

I'd definitely recommend working here. I stayed three years and only left to move into a different career path. Pros: - Excellent workplace culture with wonderful coworkers - Competitive salary - Autonomy and no micro-management - Lots of room for growth and felt rewarded for effort and wins - Really respected the leadership team; felt like they had smart business priorities and truly kept employees' best interests in mind

Cons

- High-achieving culture can be stressful; there's always a lot to get done and it can be difficult to prioritize/keep up at times - Autonomy in most roles means you need to be self-motivated - Lots of accountability and visibility in many roles; you definitely can't just skate by

Pros

Full Beaker has made tremendous strides in the past few years to give employees the tools they need to grow. When I express areas of interest for career development, my manager listens and finds opportunities for me to develop in those areas. Additionally, we have a new system in place that creates personalized "professional development plans" for all employees that offer LinkedIn Learning courses and other online tools to aid in development. Full Beaker is a company that values quality of work over obsession with work. Employees are encouraged to have hobbies outside of work, and those interests will often be shared in unique slack channels. The culture is one that celebrates both company wins and individual's life wins as a group. Work-life balance is great and co-workers are kind.

Cons

It's a small company that has its eyes set on growing, so we're currently putting tons of new systems in place for performance reviews, HR procedures, data analytics, etc. In the long run these systems will be great, but in the short term everyone is working on adjusting. No one will be micromanaging your time, so you must be a self starter and self motivated. For some this is a plus, but it's important for people to be aware of this when deciding to work at Full Beaker.
