Pros

Pinterest is a great product. I believe it will change people's life. That's why I am still working here.

Cons

The board kept raising fund for too many times. Many employees are frustrated because their shares were diluted severely in the last few rounds of fundraising. The cost to exercise options got higher too.............

Pros

The recently laid-off recruiters did a great job finding talent.

Cons

A lack of vision from the top creates a confusing work environment where expectations and project goals change from week to week. The content design management is particularly inept, and they won't think twice about blaming subordinates for their own bad management and lack of clarity. It wasn't always like this. It's been dramatically worse since Q2 of this year. The talent is there, but managed so poorly. Everyone seems to be unhappy, but the managers pretend everything's wonderful and love to pat themselves on the back. "YAY! I love my team! Now you're on a PIP."

Pros

Good benefits, especially when offices were open. Food was good. Many nice people to work with.

Cons

Retaliatory environment. Do not go against the grain too aggressively otherwise senior managers will come after you in one way or another. I saw this happen multiple times. There is also a separate decision making track from the decision making meetings. Managers were trying to change this, but the culture is top down. Too many people who don't do much. One often hears "it will take 12+ months" to do something for a project one would think takes 3-6 months. Setting expectations to do less work and vest.
