No product vision. No innovation engine. CEO does not understand the revenue products

Some very pleasant and earnest colleagues

Political and clique-y. Managers who fell up. Product gets worse.

Consejos para la Dirección

Cast a wider hiring net.

Ventajas

In theory a very sellable product. Actually really compelling insights about what people are into personally vs the face they put out into the world. Strong hire with Andrea Mallard at CMO.

Desventajas

1. Compelling narrative but does not play out in reality for most advertisers, making it actually a hard product to sell. 2. Stagnating growth in US and lack of male audience requires a decent amount of spinning 3. Sales leadership is all over the place, they solve missing revenue goals by endless reorgs, which is leading to mass attrition of sales people. They are highly distractable by the latest big “deal” and... fail do not have a solid plan in place to diversify revenue or focus on the big picture. 4. As a seller, it’s feast or famine. Revenue targets are often irrational leading often based on ambition rather than reality to a demotivated sales force. Compared to competitors, I would say this is one of the worst companies to work for if you like compensation stability. Pinterest is young, but not so young that they should have this much trouble setting realistic goals.

Consejos para la Dirección

Clean house on sales leadership. With a majority female sales force, it’s a shame that much of the senior sales team is male, the imbalance leads to poor optics and awkward conversations. Consider hiring people from companies other than Google. Hire some actual people managers for a change and not just people who like to hear themselves talk. Francoise needs to spend more time with sellers and customers to see the... disconnect between our product and the market needs.

Ventajas

- 3 meals a day - nice people - very good work life balance - decent perks - good exposure to a variety of projects - safe comfortable work projects because we are playing catch up

Desventajas

- nobody takes up ownership outside of their OKRs - everybody plays it safe, no risk-taking - everything moves super slow - not my responsibility so i don't care attitude - too many people taking PTO, 3/10 OOO email responses - no mobility, too many external hires for middle management who don't really serve any purpose - pay is suppressed

Consejos para la Dirección

- seriously consider setting more accountability for people - remove underperforming folks - be more aggressive and act like a true under dog, culture is way too beta and nice

Ventajas

Great benefits Most people are genuinely nice

Desventajas

No standard of excellence Poor behavior isn't curtailed or checked Excessively political for the size of the company Passive aggressive Entitled employees Poor corporate communication

Consejos para la Dirección

- Ben should fire the majority of his execs, their direct reports (a.k.a. dead weight), bring back the Pin-puns, and reinforce the original culture of Pinterest. - Execs and their directs don't uphold the corporate culture themselves much less to to their teams making the cultural values more of a punchline than an actual culture. - Bad behavior and entitlement should not be tolerated (but are completely). In... what other company is it acceptable for employees complain because there was a meatless Monday and they're entitled to a free hot meat entree, complain directly to the SF Health department because a handful of people got sick after a free dinner, and lets not forget the supposed whistle blower who doxxed other employees. Then there are those who complain about their blackout period, because despite all of the literature pushed at them they don't understand why they have a stock blackout period. - Work life is great because getting things done is no longer the order of the day unless you work on Evan or Lawrence's teams. - Good luck finding a supportive manager at Pinterest, most supportive managers have left because they didn't get any support from directs or their own managers (a.k.a. dead weight). - Most people that have been there 5-8 years are probably not doing their jobs anymore (if they ever did them in the first place) - With few exceptions the TPM team should be fired - almost an entire team of deadweight
