Pros

Some of the people genuinely want to change things for the better, but those people are not always in power.

Cons

A lot of design leadership has been there for 7+ years and have no vision of how to take the product into the future. It results in a lot of thrash, no clarity or direction. Processes are widely different across teams so it makes it difficult to align on how to work together.

Pros

The people in general are amazing- smart, hard working, helpful, funny. Great communities in Slack and engaging events with creativity and camaraderie. Great remote-first environment and some decent benefits. The product drives inspiration and joy and it's useful in a plethora of ways. Longtime Pinner personally, and I loved how people would light up when I said where I worked.

Cons

The CEO and executive leadership team are sinking the product into oblivion. The app is completely overrun with ads now, making it an awful user experience. Leadership doesn't listen to employees when we've brought up major user pain points, and makes terrible financial decisions, focusing more on publicity than the actual product. The toxicity is trickling down. It's not the same company it once was and they've kicked out or scared off some of the most dedicated and passionate employees. It's genuinely sad to watch something so wonderful tank so hard.
