Pros

I was fortunate enough to be in a good org with great managers and senior leadership. At Pinterest, there were lots of opportunity to make impact, culture within our team was excellent since we had full control of hiring, perks are decent, and I like Ben as a leader since he displays a lot of empathy.

Cons

Pay and perks are a bit behind industry, we can be more thoughtful about the quality of the product we ship, and certain orgs have leaders that are not just incompetent leaders, but are also awful human beings. Despite 1-2 years of feedback to surface the issues and 100% of some teams churning, those leaders end up staying and HR seems to do absolutely nothing. It's heartbreaking since Pinterest has a lot of potential, and it sucks to watch superstar teams dissolve solely due to bad leadership. If you're going to work here, heavily vet the org you're going into (ideally from someone in that org you trust) because it can either be a great place to work or work life can seriously suck without any hope of change.
