Pros

Good Benefits, good office and perks

Cons

Pay is below market compared to competitors. The Dublin team has been consistently underpaid and undervalued. US teams regularly get preferential treatment on headcount, budgets, roles, and projects. There have been around five major reorganizations in five years, which creates constant instability. Leadership lacks a clear, consistent direction and is always changing course. The constant pivoting shows poor planning and weak foresight. There is a noticeable lack of strong leadership across management.

Pros

The people in general are amazing- smart, hard working, helpful, funny. Great communities in Slack and engaging events with creativity and camaraderie. Great remote-first environment and some decent benefits. The product drives inspiration and joy and it's useful in a plethora of ways. Longtime Pinner personally, and I loved how people would light up when I said where I worked.

Cons

The CEO and executive leadership team are sinking the product into oblivion. The app is completely overrun with ads now, making it an awful user experience. Leadership doesn't listen to employees when we've brought up major user pain points, and makes terrible financial decisions, focusing more on publicity than the actual product. The toxicity is trickling down. It's not the same company it once was and they've kicked out or scared off some of the most dedicated and passionate employees. It's genuinely sad to watch something so wonderful tank so hard.
