      Awesome People, Brilliant Engineers, Flat Org Structure

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good access to senior leadership, not a lot of unnecessary hoops and ladders to go through in order to get something done (very unlike my last, big company). teams are structured in a way that gives them a lot of autonomy/ability to move quickly on projects. the people are phenomenal - very humble, down to earth. ability to make a big impact on an even bigger userbase. the upside potential of our business model and the richness our data is unparalleled.

      Cons

      no gym, no 401k match - but if i wanted all the perks and benefits of the world, i'd go work for XYZ big company and have minimal impact and just coast until i retire.

      Great people, Great product, Dysfunctional management

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are great - smart, motivated, energetic. The product is the next big thing. There is no way not to be psyched about where this is going.

      Cons

      The management is dysfunctional, lots of people are really unhappy - especially in engineering. There is no vision for engineering. No one will say anything about it though because they are afraid: people who speak up get fired.

      Least transparent company

      Sales partnerships lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      401k, time off, maternity leave.

      Cons

      This is not my first role within big tech, but I can wholeheartedly say, Pinterest is the least transparent and worst company to work for. They spew a bunch of garbage about caring about Pinners but could not care less about employees. The new CEO is a detriment to the company -- his ideas are stale by about 8 years. Getting ready for large-scale layoffs similar to Twitter, Meta, and Snap.
