      Pros

      - International Growth is happening! Revenue future looks bright too. - The people at the company are incredibly talented. - Everyone is nice.

      Cons

      - The downside of working with people you like is that it sucks when they get fired or don't succeed. And Pinterest has fired a few people lately... - The engineering culture and quality still needs improvement. - Because of Pinterest's natural audience, a lot of the developers don't use the product enough.

      Is there an engineer in the room? Nope.

      Pros

      Smaller than your AAPL, AMZN, FB, or GOOG. Pinterest employees are closer in management hops to key stakeholders who run the company. Pinterest new grad employees also have access to some high level ICs that are previously strong ICs from FB and GOOG.

      Cons

      "Is there an engineer in the room?" Key observation: asking the question doesn't mean enforcing the behavior. "No" is perfectly a great answer! This is recently proven by our President's action to making sweeping changes to the entire engineering organization and admitting no technical folks were consulted in the decision. This reminds us of the dramatic downfall of our previous sales organization also orchestrated by the same person. Was he supposed to earn our trust after that last debacle? Also what about the mistakes by our chief product guy? He seems to be another company insider with no product vision. Is our president distracting attention away from the main culprit by removing others under him?
