      Disappointing (especially for women)

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice office, fun team activities

      Cons

      Not a good place for women: only one woman on the leadership team and women struggle to be successful in many teams. engineers do not seem to care (or use) the product.

      Great place to work

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Great work life balance, especially compared to other startups in the valley (looking at you Uber) * Very high potential. Pinterest can monetize users extremely well since it knows their interests and can deliver targeted advertising. It also has strong user traction and is on track to surpass Twitter in terms of U.S. MAUs sometime in the next year. Based on that Pinterest could easily be at a 30B+ valuation in a couple years * Not any politics. The culture is friendly and collaborative and there has not been any politics that I've seen * Company puts a big emphasis on getting feedback from employees about what is working and what isn't & then acting on that feedback * Leadership team is very transparent. There is a weekly Q&A with the CEO and bi-weekly lunches where the leadership team presents high level strategy.

      Cons

      * Company is spread across multiple buildings which makes it hard to meet people outside of your org (i.e. engineering, partners, etc) * They have equity refreshes (which is awesome), but the difference between the refresh for top performers and average performers is negligible (which is bad if you're a top performer)

      Happy Employee

      Pros

      We are at a stage in our company where we have a lot of interesting problems to tackle. We are small enough that our culture is still very start-up like, including the fact that we move really fast. It has meant that I have learned a ton in my few months here.

      Cons

      We have a few growing pains including accountability and ownership, especially since we are moving so fast.
