Pros

Pinterest takes care of it's people. Sure, we're a startup and have troubles. Some great examples of that: - Pays well considering our stage - pre-IPO, pre-profitable - Paternity leave and maternity leave are 16 weeks - Employees are super nice (this is sometimes a con) - Senior leadership cares about the people and wants to make the place better -

Cons

- Middle management needs better leaders. They often do not take responsibility for their actions and definitely do not back up the senior leaders' decisions. We're working on this - Collaborative culture is amazing but can slow us down. We need to be better at making decisions - Decentralize decision making - individuals and middle management will pause when decisions need to be made. Not 100% sure why...

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
