Pros

Smartest and kindest people I've ever worked with; Best leadership I've ever worked with; a mission that you can truly feel good about; a brand and product that is loved; a flexible work environment, but one where everyone is engaged and committed to doing a great job, an exciting future; a place that truly cares about inclusion

Cons

Frequent changes to our strategy and organization... which is normal for a company at our stage and can present good opportunities, but does require a mindset that is accepting and able to adapt/change

I’m thrilled that your experience at Pinterest has been so positive. I’ve not been here long, but I agree with you that our leaders and employee community is second to none. And as it is you, our deep commitment to inclusion is incredibly important to me as well. I also agree that the size of our dreams and the rigors of the business require a flexible and open mind. Together with Ben and his team, we will continue to consider how to nurture an environment that provides challenge, growth, and inspiration for everyone. Jo, CHRO
