I felt like PIN is all over the place!

Pros

The majority of the team's members are approachable and friendly and try to help whenever they can (WFH in the start didn't help much though).

Cons

The management doesn't look aligned with the same purpose. I could see some managers been a partner to his/her team. Always trying to help the team grow and have a good performance. But, I experienced myself manager(s) doing the opposite what a manager should do: making people feel miserable bc they're not perfect and still learning and some abuse of power as well. Everything is covered up by HR when needed.

Pros

The benefits at Pinterest are amazing - free phone bill, gym, food, substantial wellness allowance etc. They truly care about the employees.

Cons

Management is not great - either under qualified or not a culture fit. Opportunities for growth are hard to come by.

Toxic Place To Work

Trust and safety specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Benefits, good office and perks

Cons

Pay is below market compared to competitors. The Dublin team has been consistently underpaid and undervalued. US teams regularly get preferential treatment on headcount, budgets, roles, and projects. There have been around five major reorganizations in five years, which creates constant instability. Leadership lacks a clear, consistent direction and is always changing course. The constant pivoting shows poor planning and weak foresight. There is a noticeable lack of strong leadership across management.
