I’m debating between joining Pinterest or Meta at the E5 equivalent levels. Pinterest offer Y1 480, Y2 350, Y3 290 Plus maybe refreshers will make up the comp in later years (they recently changed the comp structure) Meta offer Unknown but over 420 is fine according to recruiter. Comp doesn’t drop after Y1. Standard 4 year vest. How are the two companies to work for? Especially for an expecting mother? Both have good maternity benefits of 6 months. My spouse makes more so culture and WLB is more important for me, especially with a new baby on the way. TC 0 (laid off) #pinterest #meta #facebook #offer #wlb

PINS!
Pinterest has some of the best parental leave in the industry.
Detail?
If wlb is important, PINS wins it over Meta hands down.
Meta just laid off many pregnant women, gave some extra benefits to supplement their severance, and not others. There’s wide speculation another round of layoffs will come in November. I would not go to Meta.
Could you elaborate on the last sentence? How much speculation is there regarding another round of layoffs?
How would you accurately measure speculation?
If comp is important... Meta. If wlb is important PINS. PINS isn't doing anything interesting... Same shit on repeat.
If comp is important: join PINS and leave for Meta in a year
@smile, any reason behind your suggestion?
You’re taking someone else’s seat who is more deserving of the job, this is unethical. For that reason you should go to Pinterest
Wtf
And you’ve done the same, what’s your excuse?
How is the interview process?
If you are not used to finding impacts on your own and constantly trying to find people to work together, Meta may not be for you (eg unstructured).
I’ve heard lately that Pinterest’s work culture has deteriorated significantly. Happy to be proven wrong
Sure let me provide some proof
Yoe?
