Pros

My onboarding in Pinterest is very smooth. Basecamp is helpful. Helpful teammates. Free lunch & dinner. Free charging of EV.

Cons

People leaving. Team is lacking a tech lead to quickly make decision. My onboarding became hard after my onboarding buddy left the company after 1 month. Manager and teammates are too busy to handle their stuff and help me ramp up at the same time. Short of hands but headcount is hard to get. High Deductible health insurance is not very good. Hard to know other people since there're not a lot of chances/activities.

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
