We \'ve all heard of the endless benefits of working for a tech giant --
Food, health care and dryingcleaning.
This is the treatment that few of us will be familiar.
Air conditioning at work is a win for most of us and my work is far from guaranteeing the latter.
So, what treatment did Facebook residents at its headquarters in Menlo Park, California receive?
VIP attention begins even before you set foot on the sacred land.
Facebook employees travel through the campus on their own private bus --
The Menlo Park campus is a bit out of the way, 6 km metres from the nearest train station.
Visitors like me can enjoy free valet parking.

It\'s like riding a bike. And why not?
Facebook has a dedicated bike store that can meet all your bike needs for free.
Did I mention everything on campus?

Of course, the most popular welfare on campus is food.

However, if the service of the cafeteria does not catch you completely, you can try your hand at any time at other stores along the Disneyland --
\"Main Street \"-
Burgers, BBQ, ice cream and TexMex.
I also found a food truck in front of the parking lot, which may have been used in recent days to do something cool.
We can only guess what this is.

To distract the creative mind, Facebookers can get into the old
School Arcade, printing factory or wood factory.
And even more serious, life-
The company needs to provide health care services to its employees, including doctors, dentists and massage therapists.
A salon, laundry service, and a bank are also available. And a tricked-

So you don\'t have to go-
You can go to campus for anything.
There are also generous parental leave policies, including time.

Of course, there is another side to all this.
It\'s not all fun and games (
Yes, fun and games).

Janelle Gale, global head of AuFacebook\'s HR Business Partners, told me that the main reason why the campus is so comprehensive is because of convenience.
\"There\'s nothing real about the area, so it\'s more convenient than anything.
\"It\'s not as convenient here as running errands,\" she said . \".
The employee feedback and usage metrics drive the benefits and facilities provided by the campus, MS Gail said.
MS also said it was part of the company\'s commitment to allow employees to work as they wish.
\"Our philosophy is how to best suit you because everyone is very different.
Our population came late, and then they left late.
We want to adapt to different people.
\"It looks very different from the perspective of happiness and productivity,\" she said . \".

AuSceptics points out that by providing everything that an employee may want or need (
Including every meal)
The workers will spend more time at work.
Technology companies are notorious for demanding employees.
Online Career review community Glassdoor, current and former employees of tech giants complain about long hours of work and lack of balance in work/life.
Although this is not the worst (
Among these criminals, the number of apples and Netflix)
Facebook is certainly not immune to these allegations.
Among the generally positive experiences reported on Glassdoor, there are some that are critical to work/life balance: \"Like most American tech companies, people tend to work a lot, which is a bit [sic]

Ames Gale says the company is well aware of work/life balance and job burnout.
She said Facebook has 21 paid days off every year.
There is no legal requirement to do so in the United States.
Business leaders signal employees that leave is OK.
When I asked her about her comments on Glassdoor, she said that because the company is growing so fast, it is challenging to scale up the company.
\"We \'ve been taking balanced action to make sure we have the right number of people to achieve our goals, but we also don\'t want to over-recruit because that means people don\'t have meaningful roles,\" she said.

Au \"many companies that have left before us and have rapidly expanded their workforce tend to do their jobs so narrowly and professionally that they actually get a little too crowded --
There is not so much meaningful work to do due to too many personnel problems.
\"So to keep the work interesting, we chose to run more in lean.
This is just a balance we have to work on.
It\'s a stressful place to work, but it comes with the benefits of meaningful, fun work. ”Just chillin’.

Many of the comments on Glassdoor point out the benefits of working with very smart people, as well as the culture and openness Facebook promotes.
Gaelic MS that cultural fit is a key criterion in the hiring process, as Facebook will look for people who will \"contribute\" rather than \"devalue\" the culture.

AuShe said that the three things Facebook is looking for in candidates are people who can support the company\'s mission, people who create something unique and interesting, and the best people in what they do.
One of the most unique aspects of Facebook, MS Gail said, is its internal connectivity.
She said that before she started Facebook, her entire team had already \"friendly\" her on the platform \".
\"One very important thing here is to keep in touch.
We have connections on Facebook and we are all using this tool . \"
\"The reason we do this is because we want you to be yourself at work and in your personal life.
Because if you can be yourself, you will be more successful and happy.

We often talk about who you are here.
Bring your true self
If we see someone painting the facade of a person they are not, it is a great danger for us because we want people to be themselves.
Therefore, the relationship between individuals and professions becomes blurred in this regard.
It was very helpful to us because we had a relationship very quickly.
Like shorthand.
\"Hey, I know you went to your cousin\'s wedding and you had a new dream . \".
\"For those who are less willing to share personal life details with their colleagues
Workers, MS Gail assured me that you can only share something with your colleagues on Facebook. Um . . . just because.

Of course, not everyone can do such a vague personal and personal relationship.
The comment on Glassdoor points to the other side of the \"connection\" Focus: \"If you\'re looking for a cube [sic]or office-
Enter privacy and this place is not for you.
If you like to keep your personal and professional life going, it won\'t happen much here.
The expectation is that if you are here, you will do what you like in your life and will not be separated from your personal life.

But I feel like most Facebookers really believe in the things that are \"connected --
Just like the reason why companies connect to the world.
So it makes sense that the same philosophy exists in its own backyard.
What do you think?
Have you experienced the same level of work allowance?
What do you expect in return?
