Pros
You are truly treated like a human being here. You are encouraged to find fulfillment outside of your full time job, and are also given more than enough tools to be successful in what you do for a living
Cons
We do work with limited resources and under some ambiguous situations, as we are a younger company that others, but there is always support to help get answers and push things forward.

- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
People are the heart of this company, very warm, welcoming and usually very happy to work together. Knitcon is amazing and always has been. Brand reputation is solid, people always respond with "I love Pinterest!" when you tell them you work here.
Cons
The pay is some of the lowest I've heard about from other tech companies. If you choose to work here it's because you came in pre IPO or are willing to not land in the upper tier of compensation offerings around the valley. There are a lot of people problems that need to be solved and structures put in place to help the People team get their work structured, made consistent and at the level it should be for a company at our age an size.

- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
An exorbitant amount of money is spent on appearances so lots of great gifts, virtual events, and phony Glassdoor reviews to lure you in
Cons
Sadistic, organized group bullying and harassment against high performing individuals, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, is not only rampant, it is also sanctioned and perpetuated by HR. They won't just stop at sabotaging your work and trying to embarrass you, they'll also give your phone number out, spy on you, and gaslight you into oblivion. As you may imagine, this takes a lot of time. No real impactful work is being done because anyone with talent is being targeted by disordered individuals for extreme abuse and degradation. That's why there is so much turn over and so many headlines about how toxic the culture is. That's why the product is so buggy, junky, and boring. People are literally recruited to this company for the sole purpose of being preyed upon by the most miserable creatures on earth. The things I saw in my brief and traumatic stint in this joke of an organization could be the plot to a sci-fi film. The money will run out eventually, Pinterest, and when the business fails spectacularly it will be the least you deserve.
