Pros
-Lots of nice, humble, intelligent, and really hard-working people. People bust their butts and they believe in the company. -Pinterest invests in its employees: food, workspace, IT equipment, training, etc. Always felt that they were pretty generous in taking care of employees. -Sitting on a goldmine as far as monetization goes. There couldn't be a more ideal platform for matching search and discovery content with advertising and selling products.
Cons
-There's a quite a few people in roles that they lack the experience/wisdom for. -Lack of transparency. Seems like strategies and products get developed in a vacuum without taking into consideration feedback from employees, users or partners/advertisers. -Slow-moving. Initial years as a media darling helped keep interest afloat and criticism at bay, but at this point, there's only a small window left to prove that it's worth the hype.
