Pros: I've been working here for a year now, and as a full-time female engineer, I have so many positive things to say: * Awesome working environment. Everyone is really friendly, helpful, and intelligent yet humble. * Intelligent engineering. * Very unique data set: the interest graph of connections from millions of users to billions of objects. * Great opportunity for career growth. * Use data to make decisions. * Huge impact (engineering to user ratio). * Always innovating: when a process is slow or lacking, improvements are made in a timely manner. * Great vision. * Users love our product, and so do I (honestly, that makes a huge difference!). * Transparent about upcoming features, company direction, etc. * Always analyzing, getting feedback, and trying to improve. * Dedicated staff to diversity and inclusion. * Lots of other fun perks! I love coming into the office every day and working on really interesting technical challenges.

Cons: I would love to see more female engineers join the company.

Pros: The project I worked on was awesome and had great impact. The people here, especially your managers, are always willing to help and balance your goals with the company's goals so that both sides are happy.

Cons: The company is still underdeveloped and young. On top of that, the company is growing super fast. As a result, a lot of things are not set in stone, such as promotion cycles, and how to get approval for new designs.

Pros: There is a truly unique atmosphere at Pinterest. With one of the cofounders being a designer, and the company heavily invested in engineering, it is equal parts creativity and data. As we scale out and grow internationally, the team is filling up with high-talent engineers from Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Google, etc. I came from none of the above. As an engineer, one of the cool new features of on-boarding is being able to choose what division of the company you want to work for (Platform, Growth, Monetization, etc). The company constantly seeks to foster creativity. For example, I thought of an idea for an automated tool that would save lots of time, so I spent the next week building out a prototype and then demoing it in front of the entire company at our Friday Q&A. Bring your ideas! But what I love the most is the purposeful lack of holier-than-thou employees. The Bay Area is full of them, and we avoid them like the plague. At Pinterest, you find unnaturally intelligent, yet humble and likable people trying to build a product to make people's lives better. Of course the pay is competitive, the equity is enticing, and the office is rad.

Cons: Sometimes the food isn't that great. On those days, I just eat less and play more foosball. It's competitive.
