      Perfect sweet spot between startup and big company

      Pros

      - Really smart and fun coworkers. I've worked at a few of the top tech companies and Pinterest employees are some of the smartest and most interesting. I enjoy coming to work every day and seeing my coworkers. - Discovery is a really interesting and challenging problem. - Because data is the engine that drives discovery products, we are very data driven and have built solid infrastructure around experiments and understanding data - good sweet spot between a start up and a big company. Product has market fit, but there's still a lot of opportunity to have big impact. Not much red tape to shipping products.

      Cons

      - Pinterest has a very high variance among quality of employees. Some are the best I've ever worked with, but there's definitely a number of weak spots and not much accountability for those folks

      "Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the search for El Dorado“

      Pros

      It’s okay to be a nerd during KintCon Couple of really good open source projects

      Cons

      Pinterest my have “honestly” confused itself with El Dorado, the City of Gold - where it’s said, a person can quickly and easily obtain wealth. And might be lead by those with a singular focus for chasing the mythical Unicorn. Managers seem to be choose based on the zeal forthis mission. As the search for El Dorado intensifies, zealous leaders sacrifice IC’s while ratcheting up hiring in a fervor to trap the Unicorn and maintain their personal stake in the treasure-hunt. Which has resulted in many IC’s leaving; experienced IC’s will choose not to work for crazy.
