Pros

- Amazing work environment with spaces to work in the open with your team, quiet spaces to focus and informal areas to mix it up. Inevitably, you run into others in these different spaces and conversations lead to creative problem solving sessions. - Challenging work. The company is growing fast and there's a ton to do. If you want an opportunity to step right into a job that you'll have an immediate impact, this is the right place for you. - People are smart and motivated without being jerks. The team I work on genuinely care about each other, which makes it easier to have hard conversations because I can trust that there are no hidden agendas or bad intent. - People that use Pinterest love it. It's rare to work at a company that has a product that is so loved by the community of people that use it. It makes it fun to talk about with family, friends and strangers.

Cons

- Leadership churn - Multiple offices in San Francisco makes it hard to stay connected. There are things like Slack and Google Hangouts, but nothing beats talking to someone in person, which is getting harder as the company grows.

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
