Former Facebook intern here. Facebook the company is a lot more 'hack-y' in the right way of the word than what it looks like on the outside. The company and its products are extremely open, and the projects you do working there have extremely little management and corporate bs. My experience was really similar to my Google internship, and probably even closer to a "cool startup". I know several people who worked on Google, Facebook, and X (with X another major Silicon Valley company) and say that the first two were a lot closer to each other than to X.
