PinFlex
A flexible work model where the type of work guides the collaboration style
Our future of work is PinFlex
At Pinterest, we know that our best work happens when we feel most inspired. PinFlex promotes flexibility while prioritizing in-person moments to celebrate our culture and drive inspiration. We know that some work can be performed anywhere, and we encourage employees to work where they choose within their country or region, whether that’s at home, at a Pinterest office, or another virtual location. We believe that there is value in a distributed workforce but there are essential touch points for in-person collaboration that will create a big impact for our business and for development and connection.
Enjoy our Work-From-Anywhere benefit
Pinployees can participate in Work-From-Anywhere! This benefit allows eligible full-time employees to spend up to 90 days working outside of their country of employment over a rolling 12-month period. We’re excited to empower our global employees to travel, have new experiences and come to work inspired.

Why PinFlex?
The details
What does PinFlex mean for our global team?
PinFlex gives employees the flexibility to live anywhere within their country or region (in some cases) in which Pinterest currently employs them. In most cases, we will cover travel costs for employees who live outside of a commutable distance to their office when they’re expected to come in for in-person work.
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, and more! Additionally, Pinterest employees will have access to all offices within their country of employment meaning they're able to visit offices when they're traveling to different cities.
As the way we work evolves, so do the unique and diverse needs of our employees. We offer enhanced wifi, mobile and commuter subsidies to all Pinployees. New team members receive a stipend to support home office setup.
All full-time employees with at least six months tenure are eligible to work outside of their country of employment for up to 90 days over a rolling 12-month period pending they have obtained the right to work in the destination country. Employees who have been employed for less than six months may work outside of their country of employment for up to 30 days total.

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!
