Pros

I've been working here for a year now, and a full-time female engineer, and I have so many positive things to say - awesome working environment. everyone is really friendly, helpful, and intelligent yet humble - intelligent engineering - very unique data set: the interest graph of connections millions of users to billions of objects - great opportunity for career growth - use data to make decisions - huge impact (engineering to user ratio) - always innovating: when a process is slow/lacking, improvements are made in a timely manner - great vision - users love our product and so do I (honestly, that makes a huge difference!) - transparent about upcoming features, company direction, etc. - always analyzing, getting feedback and trying to improve - dedicated staff to diversity and inclusion - lots of other fun perks! I love coming into the office everyday and working on really interesting technical challenges.

Cons

Would love to see more female engineers join the company.

Pros

Some good middle managers which is rare Good benefits and comp

Cons

Toxic, fake-nice culture, the company is held together by politics. Unbelievably understaffed and no regard at all for work life balance. No strategy, just an infinite loop of spreadsheets and useless meetings and managers running around in all directions trying to look good. Your priorities and deadlines change every other week with no consultation. Your VP will assume you’re not doing your job and, at the best of times, impart some of their infinite wisdom upon you in the form of « work smarter », without actually doing anything helpful. Nothing is documented and there’s no communication between teams. Ask the same question to five people and you’ll get five different answers. Total corporate chaos.

Pros

Pinterest itself is an amazing company with topnotch benefits but it ends there.

Cons

Overworked underpaid. Managers are incompetent in their roles and micromanage. Accounting team has a highest turnover rate. Manual work and nothing is automated. Always working under pressure 10+ hours on average. No support is provided to streamline processes. Favoritism Managers are rude and full of sarcasm.
