Pros

Learn extensive things you will be challenged by Pinterest every single day you're there prepare yourself I appreciate what I learned

Cons

The extensive learning process the platform is amazing and smart and if you don't quite get it and require more training they make you feel stupid they tell you how special Pinterest is and that jazz but if you don't get a "simple concept" you're an more or less autistic

Pros

- Amazing culture - People are incredibly smart yet nice and warm - Wonderful work/life balance - The best product and mission

Cons

- Not great at developing people managers which leads to unhappy IC's. Managers who are great employees are not necessarily great managers and they can't seem to get a balance. - Not invested in career development. It is your responsibility to push for that but doesn't feel very supported when you do make the effort. - moving away from being transparent like we once were. People (managers/leaders) are starting to say one thing but come to find out a few days later that isn't true or something changes and there is no communication around it
