Pros

Compensation: Great benefits - Similar to any of the big tech. Competitive Salaries - Perhaps slightly above the average Interesting perks - Aside from the benefits. (Compensation packages, etc..) Growth: Scalable roles - Once inside, is to plan your career path. Plenty of growth opportunities Product: Quite unique narrative, different from what you have out there. Development: Everything is in development which brings an insane amount of possibilities to grow, learn and change everything around you. Management: Experienced and engage, although very sales oriented.

Cons

There is no catering on-site - As we are all WFH, not a big problem. (But you have some beers around and some exceptions to order food) The workload is quite heavy - Crazy pace, specially joining during Q4. Start-up mentality - Many things still to develop. (Policies in place, Platform, Support, Technology, etc...) This can drive you nuts or make you thrill. It is up to you! :) Recognition and Rewards should be improved and more present - This will help cross-collaboration between teams. Everything seems to be "in a rush" leaving no time to proactivity and self development. Joining during COVID is hard, but joining in Q4 during COVID is even worst.

Pros

The people in general are amazing- smart, hard working, helpful, funny. Great communities in Slack and engaging events with creativity and camaraderie. Great remote-first environment and some decent benefits. The product drives inspiration and joy and it's useful in a plethora of ways. Longtime Pinner personally, and I loved how people would light up when I said where I worked.

Cons

The CEO and executive leadership team are sinking the product into oblivion. The app is completely overrun with ads now, making it an awful user experience. Leadership doesn't listen to employees when we've brought up major user pain points, and makes terrible financial decisions, focusing more on publicity than the actual product. The toxicity is trickling down. It's not the same company it once was and they've kicked out or scared off some of the most dedicated and passionate employees. It's genuinely sad to watch something so wonderful tank so hard.
