Great company mission, approachable leadership, solid perks and for the most part a friendly office

I’m glad you felt connected to the company mission. Bringing everyone the inspiration to create a life they love is motivating for so many of us. Support for employees at Pinterest is as well, so it saddens me that you didn’t get what you needed from your manager. Your point of view is important to us, and I hope you expressed your concerns to our HR department during your time here so we could help and respond. We still welcome a message at gd@pinterest.com if you’re comfortable with helping us improve. In the meantime, best of luck on your new adventure. Jo, CHRO
