Earlier this month, our team headed to New York City for TechFutures 2025. As a sponsor of this year’s conference, we attended the Tech Crawl to connect with those interested in learning more about the work we’re doing at Pinterest. Madison R., Program Manager, Software Governance, gave us a recap of her time in NYC with fellow Pinterest employees. “Attending the TechFutures Summit was an invigorating experience that left me inspired and full of fresh ideas. I had the chance to connect with talented professionals and industry leaders, share the exciting work we’re doing at Pinterest, and build valuable relationships. Every time I participate in this conference, I come away energized and ready to leverage what I’ve learned!” Get ready for our final events of the year! Will we meet you soon?

This month, we returned as a sponsor for the AISES National Conference. Attendees had the opportunity to learn more about working life at Pinterest from three of our PIndigenous employee resource group leads along with one of our recruiters.

"I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to attend AISES alongside other PIndigenous leads and partners to connect with inspiring Indigenous future leaders.

In November 2023, Hannah Cronin, Senior Manager, Employment Law, and her family received unexpected news when her daughter was hospitalized and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. What followed was a year of learning how to manage glucose levels, transition Darcey back into school and ultimately set her up with an insulin pump. During this time, Hannah leaned on our Global Family Caregiver Leave Benefit to support her daughter through a significant life change. "Living with a family member with a serious health issue I can say first-hand that this policy is an absolute lifeline."
