Process
The interviewer seemed disinterested. He didn't introduce himself or give me time to ask questions. He asked one coding question, and I provided both a brute-force and an optimized solution.
After one week, I was asked to interview for a lower level than my current position. I declined.
The HR representative was polite.

Pros: There's been a lot of external talk about Pinterest not being engineering driven. That's completely false.
The caliber of engineering talent that I've seen here is just beyond amazing. This shines in many ways, and I think unfortunately we've been so buttoned down building an amazing product that we haven't had the time to go externally promote ourselves.
Then again, I would describe the eng org the way I would describe Ben: low-key, shy, but brilliant.
As an engineer that has done pretty much everything from startups to big companies, I can say that there is no place else I'd rather work.
Cons: It's a startup. We work hard and often have to figure out what works best. It sometimes takes a few rounds, but when we do, it feels like its essential and natural extension of the culture.
