Pinterest Begins the Long Task of Repairing Its Corporate Culture

Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr will conduct an independent review

Pinterest began taking steps last week to review and repair a corporate culture that has come under fire in recent weeks.

The company’s board of directors created a special committee of independent directors to conduct a review of its workplace culture.

The board retained Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr to handle the review, and the team will be led by Danielle Conley, co-chair of WilmerHale’s anti-discrimination practice and former associate deputy attorney general at the Department of Justice.

Last month, former Pinterest public policy and social impact managers Ifeoma Ozoma and Aerica Shimizu Banks, both of whom left the company in May, took to Twitter to share explosive allegations about the conditions they endured and why they departed.
