Pros

Smartest and kindest people I've ever worked with; Best leadership I've ever worked with; a mission that you can truly feel good about; a brand and product that is loved; a flexible work environment, but one where everyone is engaged and committed to doing a great job, an exciting future; a place that truly cares about inclusion

Cons

Frequent changes to our strategy and organization... which is normal for a company at our stage and can present good opportunities, but does require a mindset that is accepting and able to adapt/change

Pinterest Response

I’m thrilled that your experience at Pinterest has been so positive. I’ve not been here long, but I agree with you that our leaders and employee community is second to none. And as it is you, our deep commitment to inclusion is incredibly important to me as well. I also agree that the size of our dreams and the rigors of the business require a flexible and open mind. Together with Ben and his team, we will continue to consider how to nurture an environment that provides challenge, growth, and inspiration for everyone. Jo, CHRO

Pros

Lots of emphasis on career development and training, typical tech company perks, opportunities to grow in your role if you put in the work

Cons

Constant churn in top leadership, needs focus with product vision, work/life balance varies from team to team and time of year (some times its great, some times not so much)
