      Good place to work

      Business function
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good Culture: one of the 'friendliest' companies I've ever worked for. People also truly almost always try to do the right thing and put our users aka 'Pinners' first - Manager: I'm lucky enough to work with a solid manager who's shown to have my best interests at heart. Has lobbied for me during promo time and built a good trust and working dynamic - Work Life Balance: you won't get totally crushed, all the time. People step up when needed, but otherwise working weekends is minimal, people respect vacations and minimal email responses required at night - Comp: very satisfied with my compensation. Have turned down other strong offers given they can't match what Pinterest is currently offering me

      Cons

      - Pace/Execution: 'Niceness' has a flip side and means often people don't take large risks or execute fast enough. Our product roadmap hasn't dramatically changed in many years. This means we won't likely bend our growth curve anytime soon, but also means we probably won't run into Facebook-esque scandals

      Lots of bad management

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fun because lots of young people

      Cons

      Bad infrastructure made it hard to work (slow build time for Optimus repo, poor code quality control led to repo often being broken), bad management leading to churn in team, no senior engineers because of churn
