Disappointing for senior women

Pros

- breakfast, lunch, dinner - close to public transit - good maintenance group + interesting buildings - Pinterest is a great place for early-career women 0-3yrs.

Cons

One reason I chose Pinterest was the hope of working in a community with experienced women. Fewer than 20 women had 5+ years of industry experience in a company of 500 - 1000. But more than 180 men. - The men at Pinterest are the same men you worked with at FB/Apple/Yahoo/Twitter, now trying to advance careers by paying lip service to D&I. Their behavior hasn’t changed, And, they act with impunity at Pinterest as they do at FB/Apple/Yahoo/Twitter. You’ve experienced this before, at Pinterest self-interest is prioritized over ethics. - Pinterest is looking for early career women 0-3yrs.

Pros

- There are a handful of people who are great to work with - Startup culture provides a lot of opportunity to work across many disciplines - Fun / unique office space

Cons

- Survival of the fittest atmosphere - Toxic culture comes from the top down with a lot of leadership firings / turnovers - Pay is below industry average, no bonuses, no 401k match - No career path for roles, no concrete reviews, and unclear what success looks like
