Pros

Pay is ok. WLB is kinda better than average companies.

Cons

I have no idea how Pinterest successfully hired so many junior and incompetent managers in mid-management. They are too junior to make good judgement on the product roadmap and technical direction. I’ve worked with 3 different managers and all of them are arrogant.
