      1 year @ Pinterest and still going strong

      Pros

      - The people truly make this company an amazing place to work. The level of dedication and productivity under which most teams operate here is unlike anything I've seen in a 10+ year professional career. Working and collaborating with high-performing people really takes you to a new level. - Work/life balance - Users love the product - Amazing workplace staff (chefs, front desk, custodial staff, security, etc) - Perks - Dog friendly offices - Employee communities have really helped shape the culture of Pinterest and are filled with the people that are passionate about making the company and product genuinely inclusive

      Cons

      - Pay is not top market if you're not an Eng - Lots of turnover and sometimes teams run too lean - Feels very bureaucratic when trying to get a promotion or apply internally for a different role

      Perfect sweet spot between startup and big company

      Pros

      - Really smart and fun coworkers. I've worked at a few of the top tech companies and Pinterest employees are some of the smartest and most interesting. I enjoy coming to work every day and seeing my coworkers. - Discovery is a really interesting and challenging problem. - Because data is the engine that drives discovery products, we are very data driven and have built solid infrastructure around experiments and understanding data - good sweet spot between a start up and a big company. Product has market fit, but there's still a lot of opportunity to have big impact. Not much red tape to shipping products.

      Cons

      - Pinterest has a very high variance among quality of employees. Some are the best I've ever worked with, but there's definitely a number of weak spots and not much accountability for those folks

      In Startup World, As Good As It Gets!

      Pros

      - Honestly, the humans who work here are some of the best people on the planet. Bright, caring, creative, thoughtful. - For a Startup, you really have a lot of flexibility. Great parental leave policies, amazing facilities and snacks, 3 hot meals a day... every flavor of Hint water imaginable... you catch my drift. - The product is awesome. As a user, I'm thrilled about what's being developed and released recently.

      Cons

      - Who you work for really determines your ability to be successful / move up. Even if you're a bright, motivated, hard-working individual... if you don't see eye to eye with your boss or with the "right" people, you get left behind.
