Facebook has often been regarded as one of the best places to work in the tech industry. After all, their interns make $25,000 more than the average citizen.

Facebook一直被認為是科技行業(yè)中工作待遇最好的公司之一。不管怎么說，F(xiàn)acebook的實習(xí)生的薪水比普通人的平均收入還要多出2.5萬美元。

And famously, employees on Glassdoor voted Facebook the No.1 best company to work for overall.

眾所周知，職業(yè)社區(qū)網(wǎng)站Glassdoor上的用戶把Facebook評選為最想要去的公司第一名。

Not bad, right?
