All these things also apply to Google, except:

* you decide on a team before you start, but after you know you passed the interview

* moving fast is not valued as much

I would also add that Facebook uses a lot of Open Source, meaning your experience will be applicable elsewhere.

Here are some potential advantages about working at Google:

* Being ethical is a core value of the company.

* Google/Alphabet is more diverse (Search, YouTube, Android, Hardware, DeepMind, Waymo ...) and has more offices worldwide.

* It has an advantage in Machine Learning and Research. Google even has an internal research conference.

* Google even has it's own incubator for entrepreneurial employees (Area 120).

* Google is trying hard to make it's hiring and promotion process objective and unbiased. That's why they happen by a commission of peers.
