Pros

For a company that is scaling quickly and is learning as it goes given it's a start up, it is an amazing place to work! The people are very talented, the culture is highly empathetic and the opportunities to try new things are endless. The focus is on doing great work and collaborating with and supporting those around you. I love this place!

Cons

We are still a start up and are learning, but we are all in it together!

Pros

Pinterest takes care of it's people. Sure, we're a startup and have troubles. Some great examples of that: - Pays well considering our stage - pre-IPO, pre-profitable - Paternity leave and maternity leave are 16 weeks - Employees are super nice (this is sometimes a con) - Senior leadership cares about the people and wants to make the place better -

Cons

- Middle management needs better leaders. They often do not take responsibility for their actions and definitely do not back up the senior leaders' decisions. We're working on this - Collaborative culture is amazing but can slow us down. We need to be better at making decisions - Decentralize decision making - individuals and middle management will pause when decisions need to be made. Not 100% sure why...

Pros

Very focused on creating lasting impact Very realistic expectations so you can balance your life but also feel very leveraged at work Smart, hands on leaders Feel extremely lucky to work here

Cons

we're at that point as a company where there are a lot of changes, but the changes we're enduring all feel like the right ones to set the company up for long term success
