Pros

good access to senior leadership, not a lot of unnecessary hoops and ladders to go through in order to get something done (very unlike my last, big company). teams are structured in a way that gives them a lot of autonomy/ability to move quickly on projects. the people are phenomenal - very humble, down to earth. ability to make a big impact on an even bigger userbase. the upside potential of our business model and the richness our data is unparalleled.

Cons

no gym, no 401k match - but if i wanted all the perks and benefits of the world, i'd go work for XYZ big company and have minimal impact and just coast until i retire.

Pros

Work life balance, good perks, great work, industry is very interesting, managers develop people's strength, extra benefits are pretty cool too

Cons

Goals may shift, strategy is sometimes not clear, commute is longer for me but that is something personal, stock compensation and retirement benefits could have been better

From GOOG to FB to PINTEREST

Pros

-Best work/life balance I've seen in the industry due to a refreshingly mature leadership philosophy -Success is a known commodity, meaning focus is on executing -Nothing is set in stone: teams/projects change as responsibly needed

Cons

-Compared to FB, company moves more methodically rather than for the sake of speed. Jury is still out if this is right plan (right now, I think it is) -If you're looking for a silicon valley party (late nights, keggers, raging parties) this place is not that. As someone who has seen it all, this is actually a good thing IMO.
