Pros
- Really smart and fun coworkers. I've worked at a few of the top tech companies and Pinterest employees are some of the smartest and most interesting. I enjoy coming to work every day and seeing my coworkers. - Discovery is a really interesting and challenging problem. - Because data is the engine that drives discovery products, we are very data driven and have built solid infrastructure around experiments and understanding data - good sweet spot between a start up and a big company. Product has market fit, but there's still a lot of opportunity to have big impact. Not much red tape to shipping products.
Cons
- Pinterest has a very high variance among quality of employees. Some are the best I've ever worked with, but there's definitely a number of weak spots and not much accountability for those folks
