I despise Facebook as a product (not because of any ethical qualms; I just don't like it as a social network).
At the same time, I have enormous respect for Facebook engineers. Facebook gave us, frontend web developers, React, Flow, Flux (and eventually redux), GraphQL, ReasonML, ImmutableJS, DraftJS. They are maintaining Jest now, gradually making it into one of the most pleasant testing frameworks to work with. Don't know about their contributions in other areas, but they must be numerous.
So I can totally understand those who want to work for Facebook. Fuck their social network or their ads delivery platform; their tech looks dope!
