- Great benefits - Met some of the nicest, most intelligent people outside my team - knit con!

Cons

For a company that champions it’s efforts to make the workplace a fair and pleasant environment for everyone, it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Workplace bullying is essentially institutionalized here, where senior leaders continue to turn a blind eye at mid-level managers, who are some of the most inexperienced, abusive managers I’ve ever come across in my career. Fear of retaliation is a genuine concern here as well, so going to HR is basically not an option unless you’re at your breaking point where you’re okay quitting if things go more south.

Pinterest Response

I've only been here for a few weeks and I agree some of the nicest, most intelligent people work at Pinterest. However, I am very concerned to hear about your experience, your fear of retaliation, and want to help. I want to be very clear- we will not tolerate retaliation, and are committed to creating a workplace free of discrimination, harassment or other mistreatment. Typically I'd encourage you to discuss your experience with a manager. It doesn't sound like that's something you feel comfortable doing, but we have alternatives, including our anonymous hotline (844-704-6249); or, a member of my team or I would be very keen to meet with you. Longer term, with a personal and deeply held belief in the power of great people management, I am very committed to ensure we continue to develop and strengthen our community of people leaders.
