      Good place, but can have serious bro culture

      Pros

      Good benefits, a lot of nice people and interesting work. They are finally starting to remove some of the most toxic pieces of management. I feel like Ben (CEO) genuinely cares about the company, and his employees.

      Cons

      There are definite pockets of bro culture. The vast majority of women have some negative experience when dealing with the culture.

      Great place to rest & vest

      Pros

      Nice office, great location, free food.

      Cons

      Very political place with a lot of churn and no respect for high performers. Top management is trying to be very nice and it leads to no accountability and many broken promises. Don't believe anything your recruiters will tell you.

      Good place for mid career engineers

      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.
