Between bizarre and uncalled for releveling, way lower refreshers and a surge in PIP I don't advize folks joining. Not to mention that the culture went to shit they nickle and diming everything like removing 100% of morale and learning budgets. Unsatisfication is through the roof. #pinterest #pip #releveling
Is there juniors at Pinterest or itās only seniors at the company
Wait wtf is this about releveling. They just told y'all one day we're giving you new levels now?
They told us it was in the works 8 months ago, but we are all getting our new levels by June 1. In many cases if you were in the middle of your band and you got leveled to your appropriate level, you're now at the top of the new band. So that means no refreshers and no salary increase. That's what happened to me. L5 -> L15 0% salary increase and 10k/yr refresher
L15 Lmfao
Sucks friend. Best of luck.
Good thing I got rejected
Woah! Re-leveling? This is wild!
No wonder the most stupid and vile exec who failed both at Google and PayPal is now the PINS CEO.
Thanks for the heads up - Pinterest was always somewhere Iād have liked to work. Product manager technical - data platform and data driven / ML products Iāll take them off my short list.
Is this just ENG or the entire org?
Entire org
Did they become a hire to fire culture?
Sorry to hear this, OP. Iāve read another account from another Pinterest Blinder that echoed a lot of the same sentiment, especially with a poor workplace culture and weaponized PIP. Hopefully everyone at Pinterest and walk out and find better jobs in this rough market like the folks at Amazon are doing. Good luck! š«” TC: 90K
I see your name everywhere. Whatās your career plan homie to get that TC big league?
Thank you for asking. Iāve already accepted an offer that will take me to 105K TC that begins in July (hence I havenāt changed my TC yet only for certain comments due to the possibility of the offer being rescinded). My plan is continue in my domain and learn more transferable skills to eventually break past the mid six figures level. As much Iām dissuaded by the current state of FAANG, if I want any chance of retiring early, Iām going to have to make it there one way or the other.
