      Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate that you recognize how our mission differentiates Pinterest, although it saddens me to hear that you don’t have as much faith in other aspects of the company. As Pinterest grows, my team sees a big opportunity to listen to the sentiment of our employees and understand their experience. We’ll take this feedback into consideration. Jo, CHRO

      Pros

      Learn extensive things you will be challenged by Pinterest every single day you're there prepare yourself I appreciate what I learned

      Cons

      The extensive learning process the platform is amazing and smart and if you don't quite get it and require more training they make you feel stupid they tell you how special Pinterest is and that jazz but if you don't get a "simple concept" you're an more or less autistic

      Pros

      -- Historic opportunity to create a discovery product at the center of millions of people's lives. Lots of bigger social products exist (Instagram, Snapchat, FB, etc.) but none have dominated the discovery use case. -- Huge monetization opportunity (>50% of users actively want to shop on the platform) that has attracted great sales leaders. -- Healthy, professional working culture with real work/life balance. No constant 80 hour weeks or death march projects. Zero tolerance for jerks and abusive behavior. Unlimited vacation time and all the usual startup perks, and some very fun/unusual ones that appeal to creative people. -- Strong product/design co-founders who recognize and reward good work -- Amazing design talent. One of the best places to work with and learn from great product designers.

      Cons

      -- Turnover in engineering leadership has been too high, partially as a malingering effect of a poor previous Head of Eng. Just hired a new strong, highly-technical leader from Google/Baidu, who should hopefully turn things around and improve retention among the most talented engineers. -- Leadership needs to move much more aggressively to cut underperforming projects and allocate resources more effectively. Too many weak, long overdue products limp along in half-finished mode for a company of only ~1,000 people.
