Nice place but lots of cracks with managers and the People team
18 Dec 2019 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Nice environment, decent perks, good work/life balance
Cons
It's challenging to manage at Pinterest. There is constant change on the people team where new processes, definitions, roles, projects are constantly being pushed down the manager's throats without much explanation to why the change is better. The perf cycle changes this time around is yet another change we have to deliver as managers and manage unnecessary turnover The People team have not developed effective manager trainings to really build this capability at the company and as a result, there are poorly trained, underqualified leaders running many critical teams.

Great company to work for
30 May 2023 - Head - IT ( Senior, Manager) in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Really wonderful people. Awesome projects. Work from anywhere. Competitive pay. Great work life balance. Trying to be the wonderful place on the internet. A lot of understanding and compassion.
Cons
A lot of restructuring which can feel intense and confusing (It is all necessary given the global economic changes, and most likely this is the case for most companies). Not great training programs for people or management. Tough to move to other departments.

The perks of being in a Silicon Valley/SF Bay Area tech startup office. Food, beverages, etc. That's about it.
Cons
Even during the salary negotiating, post-interview period, one could already tell that this is a company run by disingenuous, superficial people. During my time here, I dealt with inept middle management typical of traditional tech startups where "openness" is merely paid lip service. Everyone was obsessed with what they did prior to joining this company, at Facebook, Google, etc., instead of looking forward or using the actual creativity they purport to espouse. As well, one has to suffer through the usual self-congratulatory attitude, a profound lack of self-awareness, and shallowness of these so-called liberal, progressive types in tech who are never challenged on their actual beliefs. I had three different managers during my time here and each one was as tone-deaf and ineffectual as the last. The most disgusting part was maybe the casual racism. It's not an issue particular to Pinterest, but perhaps society as a whole, but when the entire company is majority cis-gendered, straight, White men, then you can guess the ingrained ignorance involved. These people are very calculated; just be aware of that. No one stays long. You can do better than working for a company whose main product is a repackaged Google image search. The real genius is how they sell people "creativity" through IP infringement. Nothing better exemplifies the surface level, vapid nature of these people.
