It's a different company now. Culture is dead
It's a different company now. Culture is dead
- Most people are very respectful and helpful
- WLB
- Somewhat competitive comp
- Tech debt, and a lot of it. Engineers are not incentivized to clean up tech debt. Blame the top eng leaders.
- Not a strong enough engineering culture compared to top tech companies.
- Unclear product directions and strategies.
- Incompetent leadership all over the company.
- New HR leadership is terrible.
- Train executives.
- Their communication has been a disaster for the past year. They showed absolutely zero empathy.
- Get Elliott out of the board if you want to see this company live in 5 years.
- Train managers.
- Quite a lot of managers are incompetent. So many red flags. They aren't bad people, but they need a lot of training.
- Bring back the culture. Many people stayed at Pinterest because of the culture, and executives and Elliott took it away. As soon as the economy gets better, people will all leave. Once you take the good culture away, it's hard to bring it back. But maybe save it when you still might.
- Hire good engineering leadership.
- The current ones are all arrogant, self-patronizing, condescending males who live in the 90s tech world and do not have a clue about tech quality. They are like incompetent, toxic robots.

Pinterest Interview Experiences
Engineer
Super helpful recruiter, and the technical interview portion felt like a conversation. The final round prioritizes impact metrics, so be prepared to share examples. Be sure to ask insightful questions. Last sentence just to hit word minimum.
Software Engineer (Internship)
Applied online having attended a summer webinar. CodeSignal OA -> Phone Screen -> Technical Interview. Process from CodeSignal to offer took about 1 month, overall pretty quick turnarounds to progress.
Senior MLE
Great interviewer, very friendly. Started with a recruiter call, and then moved to a technical screen that was done over Google Meet. It lasted around 60 minutes, with time at the beginning to review the resume.
