Got internships from both the companies and unsure as to which to pick. MS CS student with 3 YOE prior. For amazon, Pro: Faang reputation, safety and has wide range of products which could be good provided I get into a good team. cons: random team assignment, bad work culture For pinterest : pros : small company so better in terms of learning and growth, team assignment could be better, good work culture Cons: stock price is on a downfall for the last one year and product future unsure.
Pinterest and it isn’t even remotely close.
Like I can’t even begin to emphasize how not close it is. I actually like Amazon overall and I’d still take Pinterest
Only brain dead will pick Amazon over Pinterest. I can see your fate if you pick Amazon. You will get return offer as L4 Then you will be pipped. Then you will write sentimental post on LinkedIn that you are on visa and need to find job within 180 days. Then you will regret that you didn’t pick Pinterest
I’m crying 😂 thanks for this
There is no reason to pick amazon. This is a no brainer. I’ll actually beat you up if you pick amazon
I got an Amazon L4 offer and everyone on here is scaring the shit out of me. Do I take it or move on?
If you don’t have any other options then take it
All pros you listed aren’t pros actually
You'd be insane to pick Amazon
lmfao bro put “reputation” as a pro for Amazon. You do understand Pinterest has a way higher bar and reputation in tech right? With Pinterest on your resume you are golden
Is Pinterest really that hard to get in?
Bar is very high. Smart engineers.
yes pins is hard to get a call and then convert too! i got calls from all the top companies with pins on my resume! joining fb soon! their return offers are also very generous! way above fb and g!
So you were pins intern right? I'm curious why did you choose fb over pins' return offer? Do you think fb/g is still better than pins even if pins' offer is way above them?
though the offer was generous, was concerned about the future of the company! company lacked direction is what i felt! as an intern this makes little difference tbh! i’d pick pins over fb and g if it was for intern!
