How are the ranking teams at Pinterest? I have been thinking about interviewing with them. I currently work as a ranking engineer at one of Facebook's prestigious team (2+ years after MS). I'm interested in machine learning, content and interest modeling. What does the Pinterest offer look like in general, and how is the employee outlook towards future of Pinterest?
I was pretty impressed with Pinterest's engineering talent and culture. try interviewing with them and u will experience for yourself what I mean ☺
Piggybacking on OP's post - anyone have opinions on the Search and Discovery team?

One of the strongest I've had the pleasure workings with. Super technical, exploring new ways to drive performance. Highly recommend coming in to chat with the leads.
The company overall lacks direction. I don't know if it's a great place if you hope to grow your career. It's probably an okay place if you wanted to work really hard and get little recognition.
Our survey results just came back and employees largely feel that the company does have direction, though.
Not good. The head of Engineering and his directors have recently left the company. We have hired a couple of them. Pinterest is not a good place to be a highly technical engineer, just look at their churn. However, Uber is investing heavily in its machine learning team and we are working on several ranking and ML problems: restaurants, places, vehicle teams, routes, surge, churn, and much more.
How are the referral bonuses at Uber?
