Pros

Mission and product-driven -- Robinhood truly believes in democratizing the financial system; they're not faking it.

Engineering is challenging and fun.

Exciting opportunity -- lots of new things Robinhood is working on.

After seeing Robinhood from the inside, the company's valuation is well deserved as well. Only join if you believe in the mission, though -- this is what will keep you going.

Cons

Not enough job advice or feedback. Management has no time for mentorship.

Advice to Management

Keep believing in the mission and working to build incredible products. Management is doing an excellent job guiding the product!

In terms of mentorship, stronger oversight of interns and new grads is needed in the beginning to foster career growth and project ownership. Interns and new grads can also be given more projects that the company depends on.
