Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a great company
Pros
We're building a billion-dollar business. Our user and revenue growth numbers are top-of-their class (I've read some pessimism on here, but it seems to stem from high standards - I speak as an analyst) Flexible PTO, and great perks (our chefs randomly leave treats like creme brulee and smoothies around the office) Smart people (truly best of the best) who ENGAGE every day to make Pinterest better and are genuinely nice to work with Beautiful office environment (architecture award-winning) CEO holds Q&A every Friday - and people aren't afraid to ask tough questions Thoughtful leadership team that listens, in sharp contrast to an industry often led by ego-driven extroverts Our work impacts a product LOVED by 100's of millions of users. I've never heard people speak about Instagram/Snapchat/Google with the fierce passion and love that Pinterest evokes for them
Cons
My team has experienced 3-4 re-orgs in 12 months. This reduces focus and harms productivity. We need time to stabilize Growing pains - too much tribal knowledge means it can take awhile to feel up-to-speed. Our tooling needs to catch up to our scale
