Pinterest reviews

Pinterest may be the most misunderstood tech company of all time. If you think it's just about weddings and cupcakes, take another look. Pinterest is about discovery and we are building the ultimate recommendation engine. Pinterest is to interests as Facebook is to friends, and there's just a ton of opportunity to connect people to the things they love. Just imagine being one of the first few hundred employees of Facebook or Google - this place is a rocketship and with this comes all kinds of exciting projects (if you're bored, you're doing it wrong). As a company, we often say our biggest problem is that we're too nice. The collaboration is incredible - everyone makes time for everyone else, no matter the job title. The culture of creativity is totally contagious. And what's awesome is we're still such a young company that we get to set the culture we want, whether creating a new initiative or club, or even adding a new type of space to the office. The San Francisco office is a great place to work, and the benefits (lunch & dinner, Caltrain pass, etc) are great. At the same time, Pinterest isn't for everyone. If you want to work on big problems, if you want to build something meaningful that's used by everyone in the world, if you like working with creative and inspiring people - Pinterest is the place for you. If you're motivated by money, if you want things to be handed to you on a silver platter, if you don't like ambiguity, or if you want a fancy job title and meaningless promotions every year, PLEASE do not apply. There is also our leaders, Ben and Evan. Hear them talk and you will be totally inspired - they are usually the ones that make people realize this opportunity to work on something much bigger than yourself. They also love candid feedback and are totally accessible .
