Got an intern offer at Intuit, pretty good salary and everything, heard intern program is pretty good , issue is I don’t know if return offers are happening. However I also am in the process of getting a junior engineer position at a seed stage startup that is growing and in the process of doing Series A raising and is getting a lot of good investors. Do I go to Intuit and then interview for new grad still or Seed Stage?
Never join a startup if you have a chance to work with a reputable company instead. As someone who specializes in startups and scaleups, I don't advise anyone to work at one until they work at a larger company for at least 5 to 7 years because you will learn more doing that than taking a serious gamble with a small company. Google is wrong, though - Companies take employees that work at internships at reputable companies over working at startups. They may not count as YOE, but they are better.
Issue is that most of these bigger companies are not hiring new grads, I’d personally rather start my FT career and be able to get out of the saturated space that the new grads are in but I see what you’re saying it’s just I’ve done 5 internships already and personally enjoyed the startups over the big tech ones
How am I wrong?
You'll learn more at the startup, plus it's a confirmed FT job. The whole point of doing internships is to get FT offers, but it's not guaranteed you'll actually get one from Intuit. Go with the sure bet.
In Intuit nothing to learn . You will waste your precious 3 months. I am new grad and did my intern. Wasted whole time 😔
It’s an 8 month gig
You worked in the wrong group.
Perfect place to learn politics and backstabbing. If you like to join a mafia organization in the future #intuitcareers
I thought that was FAANG.
At least FAANG has some decent TC.
Go to startup, intuit has toxic work culture
Not Intuit
Don’t join intuit. They will promise you a full time and leave you hangin last minute. Go anywhere else but here.

Why people waste their time behind Israel Palestine issues?
If I had 0 YOE, I’d take a full-time role over an internship 9/10 times. There might be some exceptions if the startup is too shady or if the internship was really good. Also, most companies don’t count internships as real YOE
