Pros

Company culture is pretty relaxed. Work hours are very reasonable. Almost nobody has to work at night. Great benefits. Lots of fun activities outside of work.

Cons

Some teams are not as mature as other teams when it comes to process and technology. Some managers do not have clear vision and strategy of where they want to take their teams.

Pros

Lots of low-hanging fruit and interesting technical work--easy for someone new to make high impact Work life balance is very respected--my team management pushes us to take at least four weeks a year off Coworkers are smart and kind

Cons

On-call can be really rough, especially for people on understaffed teams Everything moves really fast, projects change direction quickly, and it can take time to adjust to that Wish the food was healthier

Pros

Pinterest hires really smart, talented people who have wide experience but are also humble and like to celebrate wins. Pinners really love the product which actually does motivate you to work hard, it's nice to work on a product that is so well liked by users. Great benefits, especially for parents/people looking to start a family. Food is fantastic and you'll get 2-3 meals/day if you don't cook much at home, the office environment is really open and collaborative.

Cons

There's a lot of growth and much going on so you can have a lot of impact but you have to be able to adapt quickly to change.

You’ve given us feedback we hear often- that the people here are one of a kind. As a values-driven company, it’s great to know that you connect to Pinterest’s mission: to bring everyone inspiration to create a life they love. Our benefits are a reflection of those values for all of our employees. As you mentioned, I’m particularly proud of our robust parental leave and fertility benefits but also was struck upon my arrival how our entire benefits program is really designed with our diverse employee community top of mind. And I think we all agree that the food is fantastic! Jo, CHRO
