      I'm lucky to be here!

      Pros

      Product & People/Culture Our founder Ben is smart & curious yet very humble - these qualities flow through the entire company. This is the best company and team I've ever had the privilege to be part of. Also, we are building a phenomenal product that will have a huge impact on the world.

      Cons

      Growing pains are something every successful company faces as they scale however; unfortunately there are people who don't see the bigger picture and have a hard time navigating through this. Commuting for those who live in the city is tough as there is no easy way to get to SOMA via public transportation. It would be great for the company to offer a shuttle solution for those who live in other parts of the city.

      Smart, creative people working toward a common goal

      Pros

      One of the best reasons to work at Pinterest are the people. All of the people I work with are focused, talented, and hungry to accomplish a big goal. When you join a startup-mid-sized company, you need people on the inside who are committed to working hard to help the company succeed. Leadership makes it clear that we're all working on something that's never been done before, and we have a real opportunity to build one of the next great companies. It's an exciting time to be there. I left a big company to join Pinterest because I wanted to have a bigger impact, and I couldn't be happier here. I'm so proud to work at Pinterest, which isn't something you can always say about your employer.

      Cons

      - Free breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks (as is standard for most tech companies at this point), but the food could be better... - Friday Q&A with the CEO and other leaders has also become a standard, and is a great way to hear from management, however I wish it wasn't at 4PM on Fridays, which makes it hard to ever potentially leave early for the weekend, and making it more difficult for international and east coast offices to participate. That being said, most managers are flexible, there's unlimited PTO, and I typically don't work on the weekends/late nights unless there's a big project/deadline.

      Awesome company surrounded by smart & modest people

      Pros

      Lots of really smart and modest engineers working here. Cool to work with early employees of successful companies like Google/FB/Twitter. Work-life balance is much better than companies of similar size.

      Cons

      The office is located in SOMA, which is not the safest area in SF. The new office is cool, but feels more like a large company than a startup.
