      Best company I've worked for

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people here are smart, passionate, and nice. The culture is collaborative and there are tons of possibilities for impact, learning, and growth. The leadership team recognizes the value of a strong culture and have significantly invested in our people, particularly compared to other companies at our stage.

      Cons

      Sometimes we could move faster than we do. Given the collaborative culture, there's a balance to strike between discussion and debate and decision and action. We can improve in this area, though I think that progress is already underway.

      Work with great people on a product that users LOVE

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Lots of top talent - Lots of challenging engineering, product, and design problems to solve - Amazing culture - CEO is already outstanding and getting better. - Huge upside for both your career and financial situation Knowing people at other companies at a similar stage (Uber, Airbnb, Dropbox, Square...), there is no better place to work than Pinterest.

      Cons

      It's a startup, so things change quickly. Don't be surprised if the thing you're working on today isn't what you're working on tomorrow. The company doesn't deal with low performers quickly enough and coddles creative types too much.

      Great product, smart engineers, but lots of politics in engineering

      Pros

      Most of engineers are smart and great. They are willing to work on exciting things without thinking about promotion. And product is fun to work on.

      Cons

      Too much politics in engineering part. A small amount of engineers (some managers as well) are not putting pinners first. Instead of contributing code, they are playing politics and delivering very negative culture here. Engineers who want to work on impactful things are very hard to get chance to if projects are against the interests of these people.
