Pros

I've worked at a number of top tech companies and Pinterest has it dialed in. Despite it's size and relative young age, they have put a lot of awesome things in place to help employees be successful. For example, they invested really early in a learning & development person and focused on perks that matter. They are the first start-up that I know of that has offered an equity refresh for employees at their stage. They also have a strong set of core values that guide decision making across the company. Finally, it's an engineering company, but a balanced one where engineers, designers, PMs and business employees all matter.

Cons

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
