Avis sur Pinterest

Avantages

Company culture is pretty relaxed. Work hours are very reasonable. Almost nobody has to work at night. Great benefits. Lots of fun activities outside of work.

Inconvénients

Some teams are not as mature as other teams when it comes to process and technology. Some managers do not have clear vision and strategy of where they want to take their teams.

Conseils à la direction

My management team is good but I feel some management teams need to provide clearer vision and strategy for their team and stop changing priority so frequently.

Avantages

People are really nice, lots of great perks, love the product

Inconvénients

Not any big ones- small office so you don’t get access to some social aspects of being at a big company, and you have to find street parking- otherwise it’s great

Avantages

good vibe and company culture

Inconvénients

not great work-life balance in general

Avantages

Amazing company full of creative, humble people

Inconvénients

Too many snacks on offer!

Avantages

Pinterest is one of the best jobs I've had! The company has an amazing work-life balance, and is very flexible for people with families. It's not uncommon to see people leaving at 4pm to go pick up their kids, working from home on Wednesdays, etc. For career mobility, it seems like managers are generally supportive of people exploring different paths. I've noticed that managers are much more receptive to internal candidates...

Inconvénients

Some orgs are better than others in terms of management, work-life balance and career mobility, so it really depends on your manager/leader of the org (which I guess happens as we get bigger). We can also be slow to let go of underperformers. Compensation and benefits are competitive, but not astounding. However, worklife balance and not commuting to South Bay make up for that easily.

Conseils à la direction

Be quicker with taking action on poor managers, and have more meetings between HRBP's and IC's to get candid feedback that you can't get through pulse.

Avantages

- If you get stuck with a toxic team, the bright side is that a good portion of the company has really some of the kindest, smartest people I've ever encountered. - I love that the company has Knitcon, which is truly worth looking forward to every year! - Food, health benefits, etc. are pretty good! - I continue to be inspired by Ben and the company mission.

Inconvénients

- Ineffective HR department - do not overcomplicate your life by trying to resolve issues internally. If you're facing harassment, move on to another company. If you're facing discrimination, you too should move on. Retaliation? It's rampant and fairly widely accepted so again, move on. It doesn't matter if you have written proof and 23984 witnesses. It doesn't matter if the perpetrator is a bad leader and incompetent...

Conseils à la direction

- Create an (effective) system to hold managers and leadership accountable for spreading toxic culture. Multiple time offenders? After a certain point, you should really begin to recognize who and what is the problem with each other.

Avantages

- User (pinner) first mentality in walk and talk - Conservative and thoughtful decision making vs typical cavalier silicon valley companies - Grounded founders - Mission of bringing Inspiration to everyone

Inconvénients

- Sometimes slow to move

Conseils à la direction

Keep up the good work and put Pinners always first

Avantages

I've worked at Yahoo!, Google (YouTube), Twitter, Facebook and now Pinterest and while they all have great cultures and people Pinterest has really stood out in those dimensions and its nice to work on a product that people love without all the issues of social platforms right now.

Inconvénients

OK Google and Facebook had nicer gyms and more food options
