Current Employee - Software Engineer

Pros

* Colleagues are really nice and willing to help you. I've never met anyone who was negative * Pinterest's mission is very noble and trying to be a positive beacon on the internet. They definitely... take that very seriously and it shows in their actions * SWEs have so much ownership over their projects and they talk to people in other roles such as SREs, data scientists, UI/UX designer and other teams very regularly. Engineering doesn't feel very siloed at Pinterest and the entepreneurial spirit is blooming! * Pinterest's core values are amazing! * Pinflex is the best! I don't even have to go into office a set number of days the week. Leadership trusts employees to find which mode of work (hybrid, remote, in-person) works best as long as projects are moving forward * Amazing work life balance (coupled with unlimited PTO).

Cons

None that come to mind.
