Recruiter from P contacted, consider whether worth joining: P@12.3b, twitter has 12.8b market cap.
I did not get the point that P shares the same scale of valuation as twitter, given the MAU,popularity, released revenue, furthermore, video story of twitter.

Maybe I miss something.

Folks, especially P eng, can you share some insight and info?

    Aren't all startups overvalued these days? Uber, Pinterest, maybe Airbnb. Snaps poor show at IPO is an indication.....

  • Pinterest is doing well and on a great trajectory. However you won't get much insider info here - employees are loyal and too humble to take troll-bait. Growth is still strong, we are making smart investments , and have a promising future in visual search and search advertising. Plus we have a strong culture and amazing employees. I'm happy to be there and plan on staying.

      if you want to be taken seriously, you need to give a balanced view, not a longest is doing super awesome view, because a lot of folks have moved out of Pinterest and back to Google and Facebook, and they had a flat round.

    I think Pinterest for 12b is pretty low... if a company ( like Amazon or Apple) wanted to establish a social presence, Pinterest would be great.

    That said, it does feel like Pinterest has stopped growing... they would need to implement some kind of newsfeed or something to keep people on the site longer, and to return to the site more often.

  • I think it's worth doing your research. We still have a lot of good people inside. Lots of secondhand info in here.

      OP
      I indeed did research. P has 1/2 MAU, 1/4 revenue that twitter has, also the growth of p' MAU is slowing down. And twitter has video story to tell to Wall Street. just from these evidence, I can not find the enough point to support P' 12b valuation (maybe I think can support 4b or 5b). What is the good thing I missed for supporting P' valuation?

    • LOL not sure if growth is slowing down, but can't compare to twitter. you did a research and you still don't know growth rate diff? Twitter valuation tanked because they grew less than 10% in the past 2 years. It is a matter of time surpassing twitter MAU. Twitter is dead, but still 13B.

    Pinterest is a bubble. Heard most of the talent has already left it
