Friend is considering joining Pinterest or OCI as a new grad, but struggling on which to go with. What do you think? Pros and cons of choosing one or the other? Pinterest: $130k base, $150k/4 stock, $50k signing bonus in SF OCI: $130k base, 5200/4 stock units, $30k signing bonus in Seattle No room for negotiation
Oci for sure. In a down market. ORCL will hold more value!
Tha fuck is oci?
My maths failed again or OCI indeed offered almost doubled RSU?
Around 80k more.
It doesn't make sense to me 80% voted for Pinterest.
This is no contest. Please tell your friend to go to Pinterest. OCI is bad for new grads. Lack of mentors and young people because OCI doesn’t usually hire new grads. He won’t fit in and will be working with dinosaurs and given dumb projects. OCI has too many managers that don’t trust people and prevent them from making impact. It’s a bad environment for people trying to grow their career. I also noticed a lot of nepotism and cronyism by my managers at OCI. Important projects will be quickly given to their friends they hired in. Source: IC3 and quit today. I know only 2 IC2s and they both left last year. Didn’t even make it past 12 months.
Pinterest also lacks mentors and polictics are horrible. Offer #3?
But at least your workforce is younger right? If OP’s friend goes to OCI, he’ll be working with dudes with families. Everyone goes home after work to wife and kids. Hard to make friends at work. Horrible on top of Seattle freeze.
