Process
I applied to the Pinterest Apprenticeship Program in March, but they cancelled it due to COVID-19.
I was pleased that they reopened the program and reached out to me personally to apply.
Questions
The invitation to apply contained much more information about the apprenticeship, and the program sounds awesome.

Pros: - Very grateful for the apprenticeship and opportunity.
- When I was there, it was chill, way too chill. It felt like the sort of company that people go to coast, specifically from companies like Amazon and Microsoft.
Cons: Doesn't feel like anyone really cares about what they are doing.
The company still makes money, but it baffles me how they do it. There were two rounds of layoffs while I was there.
My mentor clearly didn't know what she was signing up for. I'm pretty sure she just signed up for the mentorship to launch herself into an engineer manager role.
Woke company.
