Case Study: Pinterest achieves secure, scalable people analytics with Posit Workbench and Snowflake

Pinterest analyzes 30,000+ employee comments securely with Posit PBC

Pinterest's People Analytics team faced significant challenges in securely and efficiently analyzing sensitive employee survey data, which included thousands of open-ended comments containing PII. Their workflow was slow and manual, requiring a multi-step process to access data from Snowflake, and a lack of standardization across tools hindered collaboration. They partnered with vendor Posit PBC to implement a solution using the Posit Workbench Native App.

The solution from Posit involved deploying Posit Workbench directly within Pinterest's Snowflake environment, creating a secure and seamless connection that eliminated the need to download sensitive data. This integration streamlined data preparation, improved collaboration, and enabled the team to perform sophisticated statistical modeling and natural language processing on 30,000+ employee comments. The result was accelerated productivity, deeper organizational insights, and a completely hands-off infrastructure management experience for IT.
