Great company, but changing priorities and losing it's edge

Product designer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Enjoyed the culture and people and getting to know people from different teams.

Cons

Due to the decline in interest "Pinterest" of the product, the company has made sweeping changes to product priorities. Constantly trying to copy other products in the market. But that's not how you win market share. You double down on what you do best and evolve from there and make small bets and eventually big ones.

Fortunate to work here + optimistic about the future

Pros

While so many companies are encouraging RTO (or forcing it), Pinterest still has PinFlex and I get the opportunity to continue to work remotely or wherever I'm inspired. The benefits are competitive both from the compensation as well as health aspect. My team is phenomenal to work with and the stakeholders I get to partner with are top notch. As I look through some of the comments others have made, Pinterest is definitely different than what it was years ago. You don't see the bloated spend for large events/parties with tons of swag but if that's what you're looking for in a company, so be it. I look for companies that are more intentional and smart in terms of spend but that doesn't mean Pinterest doesn't celebrate its employees. The celebrations still happen and just because it isn't large-scale, it's still more than what I've seen any of my other companies have done in my career.

Cons

Nothing that I can think of
