A spokeswoman for Pinterest confirmed there were cuts.
“We’re making organizational changes to further set us up to deliver against our company priorities and our long-term strategy,” the representative said in a statement. “Our employees are the heart of how we’re able to serve our Pinners around the world. All of the employees who were impacted contributed to Pinterest and as they transition, we’re committed to supporting them with separation packages, benefits and other services.”
Pinterest joins a range of tech companies that have pared their ranks in recent months. Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp., Meta Platforms Inc. and Google parent Alphabet Inc. have all announced job cuts in the thousands.
Pinterest was recently the target of activist investors from Elliott Management, and one of the firm’s managers was added to the company’s board.
