      Amazing Company - Amazing Colleagues

      Software engineering
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      We're solving a challenging and exciting problem and it feels amazing to be a part of that endeavor. A lot of experts here who have a ton of experience. Everyone is very friendly, collaborative and means well.

      Cons

      Currently, the team is split in somewhat distant buildings. I hope we can consolidate every one in one place again soon.

      An amazing place for impact and personal growth

      Software engineer, web
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Teams are small and the area of ownership is large. Example: Web, iOS, and Android teams have only ~5 Engineers each. - Technology decisions are still evolving, and you have opportunity to guide the direction. Example: recently-created service written in Go, some teams experimenting with Erlang. - Pinterest doesn't yet have a strong engineering brand, so engineers are encouraged to give community talks and open-source. - Passionate about a certain area like "build tools" or "performance"? You can lead an a cross-functional "X-Team" to drive progress in that area. - "Make-a-thons" where there's an explicit goal of shipping a certain number of projects created during the event. - Product metrics are moving in the right direction, and the future of the company looks bright.

      Cons

      - For engineers, on-call duty is not fairly distributed. - We've been without a VP of Engineering for several months. - A year ago, everyone knew each other's names. Not true any more.

      Pros

      Everyone here truly puts their heart into their work. We're all on the same page, learning from and with each other. The people are the best part of coming in to work every day.

      Cons

      So much work to be done, sometimes feels like we're getting pulled in a million different directions
