Historic company - Fail

Pros

Glitzy past. Many past articles touting Pinterest's historic rise as an ad colossus.

Cons

Pinterest = Irrelevant. Snapchat, Instagram = Relevant. An 11 billion company probably only worth a few billion. Overvalued and on a slippery slope to failure. Many things have stalled and there's ample infighting to keep you on the edge every week. Sit back and watch how this poorly managed company crumble in Magister's knackering list.

Pros

Beautiful cafeteria space, responsible pin patrol taking care of you crossing busy Brannan Street making sure you don't get run over by speeding cars.

Cons

- Absolutely inexperienced leadership team. Amateur hour every week. - A lot of important signals points to likely slowing growth in both engagement and $$. - Very hierarchical culture. Too many product managers, many of which fumble with very simple tasks. - Many relatively junior industry-level 4/5s in engineering management positions. - Small technical challenges and many copy-cat tech that are outdated in other companies. - Poor technical leadership. Top engineering staff (e-staff) held by very junior industry-level 6s engineers. - A lot of overlapping responsibilities and feels like a large company. - No product vision. Company desperately holding onto the past. - Product organization is shamefully mediocre, fails to acknowledge and be held responsible to many costly mistakes. - Expect head count fight for menial projects. - Diversity is lip service, smoke screen for fixing limited engineering talent funnel. - Huge exodus of engineering talent after three recent reorganizations.
