      Full time engineer after solid internship

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Good mentors and opportunity to make impact, even during a short internship. I wrote code that is still in use 2 years later! * Awesome internship program with all the swag/perks/events you expect out of silicon valley * HUGE monetization opportunity with large user growth prospects, too * Challenging work of scaling a product to 100s of millions of users, thousands and thousands of advertisers, billions of unique ideas

      Cons

      Tech debt and occasional management shuffles slow down the engineering team -> (new head of eng looks like she'll fix these issues) Pre-IPO startup means you trade cash for stock (less liquid) in terms of your compensation

      In Startup World, As Good As It Gets!

      Pros

      - Honestly, the humans who work here are some of the best people on the planet. Bright, caring, creative, thoughtful. - For a Startup, you really have a lot of flexibility. Great parental leave policies, amazing facilities and snacks, 3 hot meals a day... every flavor of Hint water imaginable... you catch my drift. - The product is awesome. As a user, I'm thrilled about what's being developed and released recently.

      Cons

      - Who you work for really determines your ability to be successful / move up. Even if you're a bright, motivated, hard-working individual... if you don't see eye to eye with your boss or with the "right" people, you get left behind.

      Political Nightmare

      Pros

      Many people here are hard working, kind and driven to innovate the product. All the tech "perks" without being obscene. Dogs allowed, founders still run the company.

      Cons

      Nightmare infighting, everyone is conniving and clamoring over eachother for their little fiefdom. Very few are pulling together to make sure that PINNERS and PINTEREST win. Inexperienced and insensitive middle management. Management has no idea what they are doing, and make mistakes so galling that will get Pinterest sued. If you are not a sorority sister or fraternity bro stay away. This place doesn't want anyone different, but it's also full of cowards, so they will all pretend to accept you. If you are joining this company, keep a BIG smile no matter how atrocious people act and don't trust anyone. If you show an inkling of disillusionment, you are ostracized.
