Pros

An exorbitant amount of money is spent on appearances so lots of great gifts, virtual events, and phony Glassdoor reviews to lure you in

Cons

Sadistic, organized group bullying and harassment against high performing individuals, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, is not only rampant, it is also sanctioned and perpetuated by HR. They won't just stop at sabotaging your work and trying to embarrass you, they'll also give your phone number out, spy on you, and gaslight you into oblivion. As you may imagine, this takes a lot of time. No real impactful work is being done because anyone with talent is being targeted by disordered individuals for extreme abuse and degradation. That's why there is so much turn over and so many headlines about how toxic the culture is. That's why the product is so buggy, junky, and boring. People are literally recruited to this company for the sole purpose of being preyed upon by the most miserable creatures on earth. The things I saw in my brief and traumatic stint in this joke of an organization could be the plot to a sci-fi film. The money will run out eventually, Pinterest, and when the business fails spectacularly it will be the least you deserve.

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
