I don't want to post the offer breakdown because they're similar. Both in the 300 range for l4/e4. Pinterest is slightly higher, but with stock performance FB might win. This is for SWE - ML positions. I don't have any faang or big tech on my resume, and I want to optimize for career growth and promotions. I've heard from some people that PINS is as good as FAANG, but not sure I agree. Furthermore, with FB, maybe I'm more likely to get hired as a senior interview at the next unicorn? This seems like it should go to FB, but PINS has stated that the average promotion time is 1.5 years. This seems unlikely, and I got that vibe from the hiring manager too. I also would like WLB, and a culture that I can stay in for years. This part is probably a win for Pinterest. I'm adding a poll but would prefer comments, especially from people who have worked at either.

average promo time from L4 to L5 is 1.5 years? there's no way that's true
Would you say it’s comparatively fast or slow?
I've been at Pinterest long enough to know lots of ML engineers across different teams. I only know one person did that in 1.5 years. A few strong engineers took 2-2.5 years to go to L5. There are also people that took way longer or have been staying at L4 for >4 years.
I vae onsite for both Fb and Pinterest for ML role. Mind sharing your interview experience especially for Pins? Did they ask Leetcode? How was the ML rounds (design vs theory etc?)
Pinterest is extremely stingy with RSU adjustments. The company's stock dropped more than 60% and no one in the entire company even mentioned it. They waited 9 months and during the refresher season, instead of bonus refreshers, they adjusted the stock drop back to 90% of where it was before the drop. It was an insulting experience for many folks.
Wait, this is the first I heard of this. Does that mean you didn’t get a yearly refresher?
