Pros: - Work from home - Good pay

Cons: - Work-life balance - Constant deadlines that need to be done right away

Pros: Mountains of data to explore and process. Solid infrastructure and tools. A product that people love and a company that nurtures it. Organized onboarding processes get you up to speed quickly. Full of refugees from Google, Facebook, and other top tech companies. You learn from the best tech has to offer. Lots of new graduate hires to give you a fresh perspective and keep you grounded. Weekly Q&A with Ben isn't some canned event where questions are pre-selected and vetted to avoid uncomfortable questions. It's a town hall meeting where citizens can speak directly to the mayor. Authenticity is valued here. Meaningful equity.

Cons: The chairs kind of suck. Can be overwhelming when you first join.

Pros: Great work-life balance, especially compared to other startups in the valley (looking at you, Uber). Very high potential. Pinterest can monetize users extremely well since it knows their interests and can deliver targeted advertising. It also has strong user traction and is on track to surpass Twitter in terms of U.S. MAUs sometime in the next year. Based on that, Pinterest could easily reach a $30 billion+ valuation in a couple of years. Not any politics. The culture is friendly and collaborative, and there has not been any politics that I've seen. The company puts a big emphasis on getting feedback from employees about what is working and what isn't, and then acting on that feedback. The leadership team is very transparent. There is a weekly Q&A with the CEO and bi-weekly lunches where the leadership team presents high-level strategy.

Cons: * The company is spread across multiple buildings, which makes it hard to meet people outside of your org (i.e., engineering, partners, etc.). * They have equity refreshes, which is awesome, but the difference between the refresh for top performers and average performers is negligible, which is bad if you're a top performer.
