Advice to Management

We need to move faster

Pros

Great enviorment, exclennent planning, cool snacks

Pros

Great overall culture, small enough to build strong coworker communities and rethink fundamental systems, big enough to have the volume and resources for ambitious systems to matter. Compensation is very good if you're a strong negotiator and have experience that Pinterest needs. Find good referrals.

Pros

In the competitive career driven life of Bay Area, as a software engineer you either have a choice to join a cut-throat "fast-paced" environment which is insensitive and ruthless in their approach towards their employees. WLB is the price you pay to work at the most coveted places here in the valley. Or you can join a mediocre company, sit and relax, rest and vest while yearning for exciting challenges at work - that never seem to come buy. You can tell yourself that since you have work life balance, you don't need to enjoy work and learning.

But then comes Pinterest, that takes the best of both worlds and creates a culture that I, personally have never seen. Pinterest's culture shows us that in order to work in an organization consisting of some of the smartest people in the valley, you don't have to compromise on personal life. The WLB hits a sweet spot here where you can have immense impact due to the small size of the company - and yet go home on time and relax with your family. People are very nice here - too nice I think! We used to have a cultural fit interview round until very recently. I also know of brilliant jerks who were fired simply because they were not nice to people.

I feel so much at home when I go to work every day. Touch wood! :o)
