From what I've read of the place, it is truly in control in the inmates. It never ceases to amaze me they've survived and prospered.

Except Facebook is one of the places where your software work has the most impact on the world.
Also if you don't want people to think it's sour grapes than don't even mention the word.

Letting people poke each other is having the most impact on the world?

I may sound old when I say this, but my impression of interviewing there was that they're just a bunch of kids who like working on 'cool' or new things, and don't really care much about the real-world impact.
No, this is not sour grapes; I was recruited for my skillset, but was really disappointed to be tested on bullshit problems; I pointed out specific issues with their site that needed fixing and how they could be fixed, but it didn't really matter to them.
