      Pay is ok but mid-management team is lame

      Pros

      Pay is ok. WLB is kinda better than average companies.

      Cons

      I have no idea how Pinterest successfully hired so many junior and incompetent managers in mid-management. They are too junior to make good judgement on the product roadmap and technical direction. I’ve worked with 3 different managers and all of them are arrogant.

      Disjointed.

      Sales lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits and friendly culture.

      Cons

      XFN collaboration is very difficult and everything including career advancement is slow. You ultimately are typically your only advocate for moving up. Pay is also not competitive and slow to rise.

      Comfortable but slow

      Customer success manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - 3 meals a day - nice people - very good work life balance - decent perks - good exposure to a variety of projects - safe comfortable work projects because we are playing catch up

      Cons

      - nobody takes up ownership outside of their OKRs - everybody plays it safe, no risk-taking - everything moves super slow - not my responsibility so i don't care attitude - too many people taking PTO, 3/10 OOO email responses - no mobility, too many external hires for middle management who don't really serve any purpose - pay is suppressed
