Pros

Flexibility to work from anywhere is nice but that’s about it

Cons

My optimism towards this company has progressively been going downhill. I feel at times like a chess piece in this so called “collaborative” work environment. I have 10+ years working in tech and this place by far is the most toxic, disingenuous place I’ve ever worked at. Pinterest is perceived to be a positive ”corner” on the internet but wow, do I feel the opposite as an employee. Not much conversation around growth but more about how much I can produce. Comp restructuring is still confusing and unfair. Seems like the favorites got promotions over others. Team morale is really low and it seems as though everyone is chugging along, stroking egos just to keep their job. Product is still very buggy. Nothing much has changed and it feels like we’re falling behind. I don’t think much progress will be made.

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
