Pinterest Reviews
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.

Anonymous Employee in United StatesNo OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult InterviewApplicationI applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest (United States) in Apr 2023
Interview
Hands down the most positive interviewing experience I have ever had. This, despite not getting the offer. The entire process was run like a well-oiled machine. Props to the Recruiter who also kept me well informed along the way, and answered any and all questions I had. Additionally, she was nice enough to hop on a call and give me feedback and talk about the process. She clearly went above and beyond. The process itself was intensive, but I never felt blindsided. Phone screen -> Technical Case Study/Take Home -> Hiring Manager -> Virtual Onsite (4 interviews- one of which was live coding)InterviewAll the typical questions you can expect in an interview. -Tell me about yourself -Stakeholder management -how I've used tools in the past -describing projects that I've worked on -SQL live coding
