I'm a little blown away at this myself. I knew they were extremely agile, able to make changes on a whim, but this sounds a bit crazy. Might check in with my buddy who works at FB to see if this matches up with reality. The sheer stress of working in an environment where perfection is not only desired, but required, would drive me crazy. Some of the processes, though, sound like they would be a dream. Working on things I want to work on would make me 100x more productive. Of course, it also means some things may never get done.

It would be interesting to get some verification, because no one could work in this environment for very long. Regardless of compensation. The stress and associated error rates that would accompany it would've been a problem long ago for Facebook. Particularly with no QA. I cannot imagine Facebook existing and prospering for this many years without any QA team.
