Pros

- Welcoming and inclusive culture - Pintentions and Knitcon are fantastic - Promotes employees and contractors from within - Leadership is trusting

Cons

- Pinterest pays remote workers less than their counterparts based on cost of living. Either pay equally or you will lose top talent to remote first companies. - Hybrid future of work policy. - Some recruiting policies slow down hiring
