Pros

- breakfast, lunch, dinner - close to public transit - good maintenance group + interesting buildings - Pinterest is a great place for early-career women 0-3yrs.

Cons

One reason I chose Pinterest was the hope of working in a community with experienced women. Fewer than 20 women had 5+ years of industry experience in a company of 500 - 1000. But more than 180 men. - The men at Pinterest are the same men you worked with at FB/Apple/Yahoo/Twitter, now trying to advance careers by paying lip service to D&I. Their behavior hasn’t changed, And, they act with impunity at Pinterest as they do at FB/Apple/Yahoo/Twitter. You’ve experienced this before, at Pinterest self-interest is prioritized over ethics. - Pinterest is looking for early career women 0-3yrs.

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
