I think FB got a great deal here.

They got ~10 top grade Google vets. Assuming they each have to stick around for 3 years,

$15MM/(10*3) = $500K/year each.

And the $35MM in stock = 0.54% of Facebook. Divide that by 10, and you get 0.05% per head, which doesn't seem extravagant at all.

It's the FF employees who are bearing most of the risk in this transaction, in the off chance FB isn't actually worth $6.5B.
