Great company to work for
May 30, 2023 - Head - IT ( Senior, Manager) in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
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, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
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.

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

Feb 10, 2023 - Trust and Safety Specialist in San Francisco, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
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.
