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.
