I passed, twice. I went through the whole process, was offered an enormous compensation package (7 figures). I went through it because the entire time I was telling myself if they came back with a big enough offer I'd do it. Turns out I was wrong, I couldn't do it even for what definitely qualifies as "gets paid".
This was several years ago, before any specific scandal I can think of. I have constantly questioned whether I made the right move ... it was a lot of money. Now, finally, I have my answer.
That said, of course my story is anecdotal and for the most part, I guarantee you that the great majority of folks would jump for a job at FB. At the time I was going through the process, the work environment was very much kool-aid, with kool-aid posters everywhere, "work hard" posters and such. It went past my sad filter straight to laughable. I was on campus a few months ago and that kind of thing is gone or mostly gone. I hear it's a pretty good working environment these days, actually.
