Pros

nothing. All good is gone since the new investor took over and that incompetent kid with the beard being in charge.

Cons

Where should i start? Micromanaging at its finest. C-level wants to manage employees out (= bully people out), just so they wouldn’t need to pay any severance plan. Management lies, treat smart and hard working employees like children, constantly demotivates, which leads to more fear and anger. Who wants to work like this? But yes, that is exactly the managements plan. How can these people sleep at night, how is it ok to treat people like this? And how on earth can you be so shortsighted believing that this will save Pinterest? It is a sinking ship. Very very sad, because it has nothing to do anymore with the ’kind’ company Pinterest once was.

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
