Pros: - Free breakfast/lunch + $24 Uber Eats per day - Coffee shop free inside + infinite snacks - Work from anywhere (pay reduction by location) - $500 a year towards any work-from-home-related stuff - Commute reimbursement - Nice insurance benefits

Cons: - Experience is very team dependent. - Promotions can be biased based on manager. A strict manager leads to slower promotions.

Pros: on the vanguard of computer vision, search, and machine learning. Flexible vacation policies: take as much time as you need when you need it. Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner saves money. Ability to move around the company and work in different areas allows engineers to grow their skill set. Fair compensation, generous equity.

Cons: A few bad apples here and there, and low performers aren't dealt with quickly enough. Slow in making decisions, but that is changing. Dysfunctional promotion process.

Pros: Pinterest has hired a lot of very talented, passionate people. Everyone in the company seems excited about their work and the direction the company is going in. The majority of the early engineers are still around, which I think is fairly telling. There's also plenty of flexibility when it comes to projects. If you can pitch the idea, you can build it. Stuff still happens fast. The perks are fantastic. I ended up eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the office fairly often, since the food is either catered every day or prepared onsite. There are also frequent team "off-sites", where people take a day off with their team to go do something, like go-cart racing or rock climbing.

Cons: Pinterest is in an interesting period of growth right now. The point where everyone in the company knows each other is beginning to fade, so if you're looking for a small company, it might be worthwhile to consider other places.
