      In Startup World, As Good As It Gets!

      Pros

      - Honestly, the humans who work here are some of the best people on the planet. Bright, caring, creative, thoughtful. - For a Startup, you really have a lot of flexibility. Great parental leave policies, amazing facilities and snacks, 3 hot meals a day... every flavor of Hint water imaginable... you catch my drift. - The product is awesome. As a user, I'm thrilled about what's being developed and released recently.

      Cons

      - Who you work for really determines your ability to be successful / move up. Even if you're a bright, motivated, hard-working individual... if you don't see eye to eye with your boss or with the "right" people, you get left behind.

      Political Nightmare

      Pros

      Many people here are hard working, kind and driven to innovate the product. All the tech "perks" without being obscene. Dogs allowed, founders still run the company.

      Cons

      Nightmare infighting, everyone is conniving and clamoring over eachother for their little fiefdom. Very few are pulling together to make sure that PINNERS and PINTEREST win. Inexperienced and insensitive middle management. Management has no idea what they are doing, and make mistakes so galling that will get Pinterest sued. If you are not a sorority sister or fraternity bro stay away. This place doesn't want anyone different, but it's also full of cowards, so they will all pretend to accept you. If you are joining this company, keep a BIG smile no matter how atrocious people act and don't trust anyone. If you show an inkling of disillusionment, you are ostracized.
