Pinterest

Our five core values are who we are
Put Pinners first
We are relentlessly focused on Pinners’ diverse needs so that all our product, business and policy decisions are centered on their wellbeing. We actively invite Pinners to the conversation, so that we’re creating with them, not just for them.

Aim for extraordinary
We build extraordinary products and experiences because we start with a higher bar. We push ourselves—and each other—to bring the courage, craft, and quality of execution needed to win big.

Create belonging
We each take responsibility for creating a culture of belonging, we value individual perspectives and life experiences. Divergent thinking, honest debate, and real-time feedback are understood as the fuel for innovation and growth. By extending ourselves to others we build strong connections and support the well-being of our people.

Act as one
We put energy into helping others succeed—and our wins belong to the entire team. We are resolute in our commitment to eliminate silos in how we work. Once a decision is made, we enthusiastically rally behind a chosen direction.

Win or learn
To achieve our mission and grow, we must constantly evolve. We make big bets and take smart risks to increase our chances of step-change results. Whether we succeed or stumble, we ensure the learning is never lost by working hard to actively bring the lessons to our next effort.

AI Insights:
Pinterest is the tech world's most comfortable hammock - great WLB, fully remote, and genuinely nice coworkers, but the leadership has apparently mistaken vision for vibes. The company that once pioneered visual discovery is now mostly discovering new ways to increase ad load while ex-Googlers and Amazonians compete to import the worst cultures from their former employers. Great place to coast; terrible place to grow.
