Life at Pinterest
You’ll come to the team with a love and passion for our product and stay for Pinterest’s culture of collaboration and belonging with abundant opportunities to grow and develop your career.
A mission driven by and for inspiration
Our mission is to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love. When we say everyone, we mean everyone. We know that inspiration starts with inclusion. Every single person should be able to search, save and shop the best ideas in the world for all of life’s moments. Pinterest is the best place to go from inspiration to action. And that’s thoughtfully built by the people behind the product - the Pinterest team.
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.

Software Engineer, San Mateo, California
I work on the Advertising at Scale team where we manage advertiser campaign creation and editing tools. I’m also a lead for PIndigenous, creating belonging for Indigenous employees and the Pinterest platform. Being able to do both allows me to bring my whole self to work, which is really important to me.

When we say that Pinterest gives everyone the inspiration to create a life that they love, this extends into the company culture as well. Through employee benefits, perks, development opportunities, volunteer opportunities, and more, Pinterest truly invests in their employees and gives them the opportunity to create a life they love.
