Pros

Glitzy past. Many past articles touting Pinterest's historic rise as an ad colossus.

Cons

Pinterest = Irrelevant. Snapchat, Instagram = Relevant. An 11 billion company probably only worth a few billion. Overvalued and on a slippery slope to failure. Many things have stalled and there's ample infighting to keep you on the edge every week. Sit back and watch how this poorly managed company crumble in Magister's knackering list.

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
