      Pros

      Every company talks about culture but I've never seen a place so clearly embrace and live up to its culture (in a good way). People at Pinterest are some of the smartest I've ever worked with (and I've worked at top companies in Silicon Valley) and yet they are truly NICE and Pinterest-y. And there's a drive and hustle there - people stepping into different roles and wearing hats as needed to get sh*t done. Very little ego, just drive.

      Cons

      Nothing significant that I haven't seen much worse elsewhere. There is the inevitable political game every once in a while but far less than other companies still and of course growing pains as the company has expanded quickly. The strong culture keeps a lot of these problems in check.

      Pros

      Good place for parents as working 9-5 is pretty standard. Food is great and company plans cute parties. People are generally nice.

      Cons

      Lots of bad managers and HR can't control them. HR itself is known to be full of women with really bad attitudes. "She's just like that, try to ignore how rude she is." They don't tell managers or execs to behave appropriately so bad behavior is tolerated. Constant re-orgs and no real long-term roadmap. Many people were pushed out in re-orgs and being fired without warning is pretty common.
