Pros

- Tons of fun activities that you can sign up for - Pay is competitive

Cons

- Discriminatory practices: Pinterest requires each role to interview a certain amount of people from "under represented groups" but, don't want to necessary hire them. They will hire you just to make excuses to why you didn't meet the mark. I promise that you can do everything right, work long hours, be a "team player" and still get cut. Diversity & Inclusion is a joke! It's disgusting. Please be careful if you don't classify as "White" or "Asian". Please look them up before deciding, I wish I had. - A lot of meetings - Micro management

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
