What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They should Improve communication. Be transparent. Treat employees as smart people (don't try to hide something from employees)
Caring a little more about the ABPs working remotely. They need to do more to make the remote workers feel like part of the family.
Fire the toxic managers that people have gone to HR about several times
Review from Product Dept
More accountability for the horrible things that are happening in your org and not just 'saying' that it's going to get fixed.
Review from Product Dept
Provide better feedback with employees
What is the best part about your compensation package?
As a first year father, I appreciate the maternity benefits.
Stock is received quarterly and can be divested
Unlimited PTO is really amazing
stock if it was worth something but it keeps tanking because of lack of good strategic planning and investing in the wrong projects
Review from Product Dept
Its fair. Better than most
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The new career framework created a total mess on levels of different employees. Can you imagine putting employees to certain levels even without expectation clarified?
Myself and dozens of others on my team and in other orgs have gone to HR to explicitly talk about how and why it's a boys club and within weeks these people have either been fired, publically shamed, or put on development plans and ended up quitting. It's no secret that nothing is going to get fixed
Review from Product Dept
My compensation is half of that of my peer of the opposite gender
If men and women were paid and judged equally for their work

The team is young, energetic, and passionate about our work.
Great culture. All managers have been amazing
They care for one another
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
It isn't necessary to treat your fellow engineers as an extension of Google. Please try to solve it yourself before asking the guy or gal next to you.

People overall are nice. And we value work life balance a lot
The company values collaboration. We prioritize cross functional projects.
The values are aligned with every day life

It's simple-fire the men who are making it a horrible place to work instead of letting go if highly talented people who are whistleblowers.
Review from Product Dept
Holding poor managers accountable for bad leadership / responding to employee complaints
Stop promoting people just because they've been at the company since the beginning. Promote a meritocracy.
The culture itself is fine. It's the people that do or do not manifest it that are an issue, and this comes from the top down.
Most laid back of tech companies. Tough time executing.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Not specifically. very standard process
I enjoy talking about my experiences.
Level of transparency letting me know what to expect.
Got to meat the whole team
The interview was one of the easiest interviews I've ever had

What makes you most happy at work?
Being able to hire diverse young talent.
The benefits. And proud to be part of the team
My team is the best. Everyone is smart and kind.
food people coffee people SQL
seeing the dogs in the office and everyone really wants to help each other succeed and ultimately help the pinners.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I am being discriminated against and punished for complaining
Workplace bullying & discrimination; can be improved once the company begins caring about every employee equally
Almost half of our engineers don't see themselves working at Pinterest in 12 months. This number has been getting progressively worse and nobody in the C-suite seems to be doing anything about it.
Hard to compete with Google/Facebook for talent, so we end up with B-talent and have a hard time competing/executing.
