Pros

Pinterest hires really smart, talented people who have wide experience but are also humble and like to celebrate wins. Pinners really love the product which actually does motivate you to work hard, it's nice to work on a product that is so well liked by users. Great benefits, especially for parents/people looking to start a family. Food is fantastic and you'll get 2-3 meals/day if you don't cook much at home, the office environment is really open and collaborative.

Cons

There's a lot of growth and much going on so you can have a lot of impact but you have to be able to adapt quickly to change.

You’ve given us feedback we hear often- that the people here are one of a kind. As a values-driven company, it’s great to know that you connect to Pinterest’s mission: to bring everyone inspiration to create a life they love. Our benefits are a reflection of those values for all of our employees. As you mentioned, I’m particularly proud of our robust parental leave and fertility benefits but also was struck upon my arrival how our entire benefits program is really designed with our diverse employee community top of mind. And I think we all agree that the food is fantastic! Jo, CHRO

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
