Pinterest Response

I agree that the people at Pinterest are an undeniable reason why our culture is so special. We absolutely want our team members to feel looked after and treated respectfully. I note that you may have left Pinterest, however my team or I would welcome the chance to learn more about your experience. Please feel free to get in touch at gd@pinterest.com. It’s important for us to understand what we might be able to do differently going forward. Thank you for sharing your feedback. Jo, CHRO

Engineering culture sucks

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company tries to have fun events from time to time (such as a company-wide conference).

Cons

There is not much flexibility in the work for engineers. Also, there is very little chance to work on something that is very impactful. Poor engineering quality compared to more engineering-driven companies such as Google, Facebook, or Twitter.

Hands down the best company I've ever worked for

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

-I bring my authentic self to work and I genuinely love being there every day. -My ideas are heard, big or small -I'm making an impact in a way I was never able to at larger companies and with a company that I believe WILL BE massive. I get to help it get there. Insane. Once in a lifetime. -The people are warm, funny, humble and smart as hell -I learn and grow and get better personally and professionally every day that I'm here. I couldn't say that before I came to Pinterest. -It's collaborative. -It's fun. We laugh a lot while managing to get a ton accomplished. -Diversity is of huge importance and continues to be a top priority.

Cons

If I had to think of a con, I'd say that we aren't yet in a position to match on 401k but I expect that to change as the company grows and becomes profitable.
