Pros

Great company mission, approachable leadership, solid perks and for the most part a friendly office

Cons

Very sink or swim environment, managers within sales are more sales drivers than people developers and it's apparent in their approach to managing

I’m glad you felt connected to the company mission. Bringing everyone the inspiration to create a life they love is motivating for so many of us. Support for employees at Pinterest is as well, so it saddens me that you didn’t get what you needed from your manager. Your point of view is important to us, and I hope you expressed your concerns to our HR department during your time here so we could help and respond. We still welcome a message at gd@pinterest.com if you’re comfortable with helping us improve. In the meantime, best of luck on your new adventure. 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
