PinFlex
Our flexible work model that promotes collaboration and connection
What is PinFlex?
PinFlex is Pinterest’s unique, flexible work model that enables us to meet the needs of our business while empowering our team to do their best work, grow their career, and build meaningful connections. What this looks like day-to-day can vary based on the needs of each organization or role. We believe that a thoughtful mix of meaningful in-person opportunities and autonomy for virtual work not only drives business success, but also personal growth and team connection.

The details
What does PinFlex mean for our global team?
PinFlex enables leaders and teams to determine the best way to work and collaborate, with flexibility grounded in the needs of each role. For positions that require regular in-office collaboration, employees are expected to live within a specific area or region and meet in-person or commute expectations. For roles without a regular office requirement, employees may live anywhere within their country or region of employment.
With PinFlex, every employee will be expected to come into Pinterest offices for in-person collaboration moments throughout the year. At Pinterest, we believe that experiencing our offices in-person and creating the opportunity to collaborate and connect with others is essential. Our offices provide an energizing atmosphere with world-class technology, collaboration tools, on-site dining (some locations), and more!
We offer wifi, mobile and commuter subsidies to all Pinterest employees. New team members receive a stipend to support home office set up expenses.
PinFlex offers the Global30 Program for eligible employees. With leadership approval, employees may spend up to 30 calendar days working outside their country of employment over a rolling 12-month period.

Director of Product Management, Trust & Safety, Maine
I'm grateful that Pinterest is committed to supporting employees across the globe, and have personally embraced our flexible work model by working from my home in Maine.
Katie Iserson
Employee Relations Senior Manager, Maryland, US
PinFlex allows me to work from my home in Maryland, and I still have the opportunity to connect with my team and cross functional partners in person throughout the year. I’ve visited multiple Pinterest offices; this has allowed me to collaborate with colleagues, learn about various areas of the business and travel to new cities!
