Pros

I've worked at a number of top tech companies and Pinterest has it dialed in. Despite it's size and relative young age, they have put a lot of awesome things in place to help employees be successful. For example, they invested really early in a learning & development person and focused on perks that matter. They are the first start-up that I know of that has offered an equity refresh for employees at their stage. They also have a strong set of core values that guide decision making across the company. Finally, it's an engineering company, but a balanced one where engineers, designers, PMs and business employees all matter.

Pros

Leadership is hyper-focused on building an amazing internal culture and company. Employees are the best in their field and have large ownership and say over how the company is iterating itself. There is very little internal struggle around best practices for a healthy work environment. People truly enjoy their work, the mission, and the ownership of culture.

Cons

Feedback and concrete direction can be soft. Hard decisions sometimes become left to process. An emphasis on tough-love on occasion could help avoid analysis paralysis.

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.
