Careers - Facebook Is ... Hiring

Facebook is ... hiring, has sweet benefits and needs security expertise.

The social networking gargantuan has a solid number of jobs listed for technology pros in almost every expected category. I counted no fewer than 35 jobs that are technology-related, with a number of gigs in the U.K. and Ireland, but most of the jobs are in Palo Alto in Silicon Valley. Technology jobs dominated the list, with sales being next in line, but not nearly as many as IT.

Why look at one isolated viral social networking phenom's job board? To see if it gives any clue as to where they are headed, to see what they say on their corporate site to attract top tech talent and to find out if you'd want to work there.

Benefits and perks seem quite solid, with free health benefits, a whole lotta vacation and holiday time (29 days), and the choice of a MacBook. WooT! The four months of parental time off is quite generous too. Just have to wonder if anyone who actually works at the "fourth largest website" in the world has time to take advantage of all those perks.Here are the published benefits.
