Pure corporate trap *Extremely toxic * The numbers and the upper management are the only priority * No bonus * Massively understaffed * Hugely political * Micromanagement at its finest * No transparency * No work life balance * No clear communication and a lot of confusion at the upper management * HR exists for the sole purpose of supporting the management * Everyone is trying so much to fake it it's pathetic *

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.
