We Make Life Easy
Facebook offers a ton of great benefits and perks to make sure your life is as satisfying as your work.
Health
Family & Parenting
Paid Parental Leave and Baby Cash
Facebook offers all eligible full-time, U.S. employees up to 4 months of Paid Parental Leave to attend to the birth or adoptive placement of your child. While an employee is on Paid Parental Leave, Facebook will continue your health benefits, stock vesting, 401 (k), gym membership and Purple Tie as if you had continued to work full-time. Facebook also will provide $4,000 baby cash to all new custodial parents who are full-time U.S. employees at the time of birth or placement.
Day Care
All full-time regular employees who have one or more children age 5 or under at any point during the calendar year (incurred after your start date) are eligible to be reimbursed for up to $3,000 toward day care/babysitting assistance per year.
Food
This may be our most awesome perk. Facebook provides microkitchens and lots of great, free snacks at just about all its major worldwide locations. At our Palo Alto headquarters, we also offer free breakfast, lunch and dinner at our Cafe. Whether you're looking for healthy salads, hearty world cuisine from countries such as Belize and India, or just a couple slices of pizza, Chef Josef and his team of culinary geniuses make it happen every day.
Time Off
Paid Time Off (PTO)
We know that passion and commitment has to be paired with rest and balance. We offer 21 days of paid vacation to make sure you take a break once in a while.
Sick Time and Holidays
If you're sick, stay home and get better (unlimited sick days.) There are also 11 paid holidays observed at Facebook.
Saving & Retirement
Facebook 401(k) Plan
We use Fidelity's NetBenefits to manage our retirement plan and provide you with the tools to make the most of your 401(k) savings opportunity. Automatic payroll deduction lets U.S. employees contribute between 1% and 75% of your eligible pay up to the annual IRS dollar limit. We also provide Fidelity BrokerageLink and a self-directed brokerage account to give you expanded investment choices.
Other perks
Internal Speakers Series
Almost every week, we bring in someone from outside Facebook to talk about their experience and what they're passionate about. We like to bring in people who we know will give us something to think about. Recent guests have included Gloria Steinem, Arianna Huffington, Craig Newmark, and Marc Andreessen.
Discounts
We have discounts from companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Apple & AT&T.;
Transportation
Palo Alto: Free Shuttle service to and from San Francisco. Free Caltrain Go Pass, which gives you unlimited access to the Caltrain.
Other Locations: If you take Public Transportation (such as the metro) at least 10 times per month (round trip) or purchase a monthly pass, you are eligible for a reimbursement of up to $50.00 per month.
Purple Tie Laundry
Purple Tie provides laundry, dry cleaning, photo processing, and leather repair for Palo Alto employees. You drop your laundry off at work and we'll return it right to your desk.
