Pinterest Software Developer reviews

- Big engineering challenges but still small enough that individuals can make a real difference. - Surrounded by very talented engineers, designers and data analysts that will take the time to answer your questions and can learn from. - Management is incredibly transparent and open. Every Friday there is public Q&A with CEO and senior management answering your favorite anonymous questions. Every meeting with more than three people sends out notes so you can see what's going on with rest of the company. - Clear at every step that Ben (CEO) really cares about employees and wants them to share in success longer term and enjoy their day at work. - Like any company going to be non-optimal groups or projects but seems pretty easy to switch groups if there is something else you want to do I've worked at 4 different startups/tech companies now and this is by far the best company to work for out of all of them. The perks, culture and engineering are great but the opportunities and care for employees are even better.

The head of engineering has a mantra he repeats often, "be unfailingly kind." It's felt throughout the engineering organization: people going out of their way to be courteous and helpful, sometimes at the expense of productivity. This makes working at Pinterest a joy. It makes it easy for new employees to quickly ramp up and for long-time employees to continue to grow. It makes me excited to come into work every day. The company's values are in the right place. I truly believe that more diverse teams build better products, and Pinterest is making investments in recruiting and inclusion that will pay off for years to come. The best part is that none of this comes at the expense of the awesome technology that we continue to pioneer at breathtaking pace. Our visual search team is way ahead of everyone else, and even Apple itself is envious of our work on AsyncDisplayKit. As Pinterest grows and matures, working here will become more routine, and the people who made this company great will gradually depart to take on new adventures. But that hasn't happened yet. And I'm loving every minute of the present.
