Pros

People are really nice, lots of great perks, love the product

Cons

Not any big ones- small office so you don’t get access to some social aspects of being at a big company, and you have to find street parking- otherwise it’s great

Great coworkers are such an important part of a positive work experience, I'm happy to hear that you're surrounded by great ones. Parking can definitely be hard in SOMA but don't forget to enter in to the quarterly parking lottery or utilize some of our other alternative transportation benefits! Jo, CHRO

Pros

Pinterest does a few things exceptionally. They develop their people incredibly well, I feel as though I've learned more in 18 months than in my entire previous career. The truly care about their employees, they emphasize work-life balance and allow for people to have lives outside work. They also truly care about their users, making a product that is focused actually improving peoples lives.

Cons

There are definitely growing pains with a company that's experienced rapid growth. Sometimes feels like upper-level executives don't understand that Pinterest generates revenue by selling ads. Also noticed some people moving up in the company because of their relationships with people rather than there ability or potential to do their job well.
