Pros

Good mentors and opportunity to make impact, even during a short internship. I wrote code that is still in use 2 years later!

Awesome internship program with all the swag/perks/events you expect out of Silicon Valley.

HUGE monetization opportunity with large user growth prospects, too.

Challenging work of scaling a product to hundreds of millions of users, thousands and thousands of advertisers, and billions of unique ideas.

Cons

Tech debt and occasional management shuffles slow down the engineering team. The new head of engineering looks like she'll fix these issues.

Pre-IPO startup means you trade cash for stock (less liquid) in terms of your compensation.
