Using Pinterest makes people feel more inspired, optimistic and creative. People use it to reconnect with themselves and discover new things to try. That’s why it’s one of the world’s most beloved brands. Life is more complicated than the simple binary of “work” and “life.” At Pinterest, we’re passionate about the work we do. We also cook, skate, backpack, garden and drum.

How's the vacation policy at Pinterest?
Respuesta de los mejores empleados
Unlimited paid vacation; not much official approval required as long as you give your manager a heads up in advance and don't abuse it or take off for long periods at particularly busy times.
Unlimited vacation days. Most people take many days off because it’s encouraged.
Unlimited vacation! I know there's a fear out there that people at unlimited vacation companies actually take less time because it's discouraged day-to-day, but that hasn't been my experience at all. People take good long vacations here, and are encouraged to do so!
How's the work life balance at Pinterest?
Growing company that values their employees. Very flexible schedules.
Superb. Because Pinterest is all about designing your life, folks really are encouraged to make the time to have a life. I work staggered hours to accommodate my childcare situation, for example. Unlimited vacation time also helps.
Does Pinterest have any remote positions?
Only in remote offices.
I believe a few engineers have worked out remote arrangements, but it's not very common.
How does Pinterest make decisions around promotions?
This is a mystery. The process isn’t defined and it’s impossible to know when or if you’re eligible for a promotion.
The process is different for eng and non-eng. Engineering has a self-nomination process, I think; non-eng has a manager-nomination process. For non-eng, you have to be performing steadily at the next level above your current one to receive a promotion; things move at about an average pace, I'd say. Levels aren't transparent in most orgs, though, so it can be a little difficult to benchmark.

Spotty. There’s an internal feedback tool that is used sometimes. Feedback is really dependent upon your manager. My manager was very poor at delivering or taking feedback. If you get a bad actor as your manager, prepare to be in the dark about your performance.
