Pros

For a company that is scaling quickly and is learning as it goes given it's a start up, it is an amazing place to work! The people are very talented, the culture is highly empathetic and the opportunities to try new things are endless. The focus is on doing great work and collaborating with and supporting those around you. I love this place!

Cons

We are still a start up and are learning, but we are all in it together!

Pros

Tough to put into words how amazing this experience has been. If you are hungry and eager to learn and dive in, Pinterest is the place for you. You'll have autonomy, and countless opportunities to step up to the plate and lead. There is no shortage of laughter and fun on the team, and no better feeling than knowing your peers are in this with you working toward a big goal together.

Cons

Work life balance is good, but don't expect you can leave your laptop at your desk - there's a good amount of being connected at night.

Pros

Incredibly smart and talented people. Growing revenue rapidly and scaling the user base internationally. The organization is continuously improving even as it has scaled.

Cons

Rapid growth means that change is continuous. Adding new leaders and changing the organizational structure faster than larger companies. I think this is the right thing to do, but it can cause churn.
