Pros

Pinterest is a company that truly cares about people - from our co founders all the way down to my direct manager. We operate with a sense of maturity that allows us to move fast and at the same time, focus on the details. Promotion and review cycles every 6 months are opportunities to grow and see your impact. We spend a lot of time knitting with our teams outside of the office and many of my co workers have become life long friends. We have a huge opportunity in the market place and I'm excited every day to come to work. It's been 2+ years for me here and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

Cons

All startups have growing pains and I've been other places where those challenges weren't worth sticking around. I think we could do a better job at rallying our company around the wins our individual teams see every day. We're pretty heads down and do a lot of good work, so spending more time sharing and celebrating those wins together. Also, this might be minor, but we've opened up a new space and it would be great if we could have the team all together in one building. Real estate in SF is tough, so having an urban campus is better than commuting to MTV.

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
