    Pros

    Compensation and benefits: Pinterest offers competitive salaries and benefits, including health insurance, 401(k) with company match, and paid time off.

    Great company to work for

    May 30, 2023 - Head - IT ( Senior, Manager) in New York, NY
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    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.

    People are great, movement is tough

    Jun 2, 2023 - Account Manager in New York, NY

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    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.

    Feb 10, 2023 - Trust and Safety Specialist in San Francisco, CA
    Recommend

    Business Outlook

    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.

Diversity and Inclusion
In April, we shared our 2022 Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) Report under the theme “Inspiring Action.” At Pinterest, we’re on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and deliver an experience that reflects their interests, tastes and culture - no matter who they are. We cannot deliver that experience if our people and our product do not reflect the diversity of our world. “I’m inspired by our progress so far, along with the dedication that Pinterest demonstrates every day, as we work to embed inclusion and diversity in everything that we do.” – Nichole Barnes Marshall, Pinterest Chief Diversity Equity & Inclusion Officer Learn more about our latest progress and efforts on I&D and building a positive place online via our 2022 I&D Report.
