      Very ineffective work culture

      Pros

      Good perks all around and very inclusive place to work.

      Cons

      May be just the team but it's very hard to get anything done. Lack of ownership all across to the extent that you end up asking pretty much everyone to get an answer.

      Good place to work

      Pros

      - Good Culture: one of the 'friendliest' companies I've ever worked for. People also truly almost always try to do the right thing and put our users aka 'Pinners' first - Manager: I'm lucky enough to work with a solid manager who's shown to have my best interests at heart. Has lobbied for me during promo time and built a good trust and working dynamic - Work Life Balance: you won't get totally crushed, all the time. People step up when needed, but otherwise working weekends is minimal, people respect vacations and minimal email responses required at night - Comp: very satisfied with my compensation. Have turned down other strong offers given they can't match what Pinterest is currently offering me

      Cons

      - Pace/Execution: 'Niceness' has a flip side and means often people don't take large risks or execute fast enough. Our product roadmap hasn't dramatically changed in many years. This means we won't likely bend our growth curve anytime soon, but also means we probably won't run into Facebook-esque scandals

We have big plans for the next year to make the positives even better and address some cons, and I think everyone will be pleased with the work. Have a great holiday! Jo, CHRO

      Pros

      - It's surprising, but their tech is probably one of the cleanest and innovative I've come across. Everyone is very talented - Good career growth - Nice amenities and culture. - Diverse - Good hiring bar - Good work life balance - management is transparent. CEO is very active with everyone

      Cons

      - I left because it wasn't a product I enjoyed using personally. It appeals to specific kinds of people - apparently there were a lot of politics going on but I wasn't aware or affected by it - not sure where this company will go - co-founding team are still relatively inexperienced
