Pros

Definitely one of the best places to work. Amazing collaborative culture, genuinely nice, smart and inspiring people to work with. Everyone is "knitting" towards the same goal and supports each other to be a better version of themselves. Leadership supports new initiatives, taking risks and provides the necessary resources to be successful. Beautiful buildings with amazing inclusive amenities: gender-neutral facilities, coffee bar, library, quiet spaces, mother's room, gym, parking and so much more! Daily meals are full of options to satisfy the pickiest eater and abundance of snack options too. Fun employee events, holiday party, family summer picnics, great clubs for various interest and other perks such as massage on site, exercise classes and etc.

Cons

Good place for mid career engineers

Business Outlook

Pros

Great overall culture, small enough to build strong coworker communities and rethink fundamental systems, big enough to have the volume and resources for ambitious systems to matter. Compensation is very good if you're a strong negotiator and have experience that Pinterest needs. Find good referrals.

Cons

Pinterest is unlike Facebook or Google in that it's still a smaller, pre-IPO company where the organizational plate tectonics haven't finished cooling. I don't recommend it for more junior engineers because they can get lost in the cracks of these shifts until they wise up. Junior engineers and new grads without a lot of internship experiences should go to a FAANG first.
