Good place for mid-career engineers
Good place for mid-career engineers
Great overall culture. It's small enough to build strong coworker communities and rethink fundamental systems, but big enough to have the volume and resources for ambitious systems to matter. Compensation is very good if you're a strong negotiator and have experience that Pinterest needs. Find good referrals.
Pinterest is unlike Facebook or Google in that it's still a smaller, pre-IPO company where the organizational plate tectonics haven't finished cooling.
I don't recommend it for more junior engineers because they can get lost in the cracks of these shifts until they wise up.
Junior engineers and new grads without a lot of internship experience should go to a FAANG first.
