Starting a Job during COVID - Not easy but doable!

Senior account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation: Great benefits - Similar to any of the big tech. Competitive Salaries - Perhaps slightly above the average Interesting perks - Aside from the benefits. (Compensation packages, etc..) Growth: Scalable roles - Once inside, is to plan your career path. Plenty of growth opportunities Product: Quite unique narrative, different from what you have out there. Development: Everything is in development which brings an insane amount of possibilities to grow, learn and change everything around you. Management: Experienced and engage, although very sales oriented.

Cons

There is no catering on-site - As we are all WFH, not a big problem. (But you have some beers around and some exceptions to order food) The workload is quite heavy - Crazy pace, specially joining during Q4. Start-up mentality - Many things still to develop. (Policies in place, Platform, Support, Technology, etc...) This can drive you nuts or make you thrill. It is up to you! :) Recognition and Rewards should be improved and more present - This will help cross-collaboration between teams. Everything seems to be "in a rush" leaving no time to proactivity and self development. Joining during COVID is hard, but joining in Q4 during COVID is even worst.

Great company but no upward mobility

Sales coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I really enjoy working at Pinterest, but its a larger company and there is no career outlook for our team. I am currently a contractor and there is no conversion plan for this role, so this team sees a high turnover.

Cons

Growing pains, no upward mobility or conversion plan
