CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers are some of the greatest people I've known, both professionally and personally. I have learned so much from them. They are what made my time at Pinterest worthwhile. The product is interesting and exciting.

Cons

Besides the CEO, laughably terrible management. Engineering leaders are incredibly weak in every aspect: technically, people management, product management, etc. The company is completely and utterly directionless. Not surprisingly the product quality is quickly declining.
