Best place I've ever worked

Pros

Pinterest leaders truly believe in the product and in doing what's right for the users. I'm often really inspired by their vision for the company and the effort they put into making it a reality. As we've gone through various stages of growth, the underlying mission and spirit of the company hasn't changed. We're always trying to get better and people feel empowered to take on problems when they arise. You're respected for your contributions and are given lots of opportunities to develop new skills and to take on new responsibilities.

Cons

We still need to work on giving more praise for great work and on moving faster in our decision making.

Pros

We get paid to build Pinterest. How great is that? Company caters to those who prefer action over discussion. Impressive office spaces, brilliant and interesting colleagues, flexible work policy, fun product. Culture really is something else here – I feel like Pinterest genuinely cares about me as a person.

Cons

Some things change quickly – that's the nature of a small/medium sized company. None of these changes have been for the worse in my opinion.

Pros

I'm a little sad to see some of the recent negative reviews that people have been writing, because those reviews don’t convey the Pinterest I work at. I’d read those review with a grain of salt if I were you. If you work hard, you get recognized. If you bring good ideas to the table, your colleagues listen. I’ve never found the need to promote myself or “manage up” like at other companies in the valley. You are recognized for working hard and making an impact. And the people you get to work with are smart and humble and genuinely want to be around each other all of the time. Of course Pinterest has its bumps. It wouldn’t be a startup if there weren’t any bumps. The management team works hard to keep Pinterest’s culture strong by eliminating toxic and unhealthy situations. As a result some of the teams as of late, are stronger than ever. So believe what you want, but hopefully you’ll see through some of the other negative reviews as they really don’t convey what an awesome company Pinterest is to work for and the people who work here.

Cons

Our offices are split up because we are growing and there isn't room for all of us in one building. I don't blame Pinterest for this though. There's no place that will fit us all!
