Cons

- None that I have identified so far

Pros

Opportunities for growth: Pinterest is a fast-growing company, which means that there are many opportunities for employees to grow and develop their careers.

Cons

Work-life balance: While Pinterest is known for its strong work-life balance, some employees may find that they need to work long hours to meet deadlines. Location: Pinterest is headquartered in San Francisco, which is a high-cost city. Culture: Pinterest's culture may not be a good fit for everyone. Some employees may find it too casual or too focused on collaboration.

Pros

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.

Pros

I love the people that I work with at the company. Everyone is very nice and very smart.

Cons

It has become increasingly hard to make more money and get promoted. When I started over two years ago, company culture was great but unfortunately it seems that morale has gone down steadily over the past 6 months.

Pros

Good place to work. Good company values

Cons

Execs sometimes make very poor decisions. Stock ain't that great. We always sell on the low.

Pros

Everything's great in reality, actually

Cons

Nothing is a con, really.

Pros

The friends I’ve made are great.

Cons

New sr leadership make poor choices, seemingly only to benefit themselves.

Pros

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.

Pros

Benefits Sick leave Bonuses Pay raise 401k

Cons

Long hours Teamwork Communication Leadership Work ethic

Pros

Good work life balance, Pinflex and unlimited vacation.

Cons

Confused with new management direction.
