I was unable to use pnpm with a project that used Electron (~2 years ago), IIRC because some spawned process was incompatible with symlinks. It's the only time it caused me trouble though, it's indeed much faster than npm. I'd love to use it at work too.

In any cases where pnpm doesn't work, you may set the node-linker=hoisted option and it will work:

https://pnpm.io/npmrc#node-linker

With node-linker=hoisted, pnpm creates a traditional hoisted (aka flat) node_modules, without using symlinks.
