Pros

It’s okay to be a nerd during KintCon Couple of really good open source projects

Cons

Pinterest my have “honestly” confused itself with El Dorado, the City of Gold - where it’s said, a person can quickly and easily obtain wealth. And might be lead by those with a singular focus for chasing the mythical Unicorn. Managers seem to be choose based on the zeal forthis mission. As the search for El Dorado intensifies, zealous leaders sacrifice IC’s while ratcheting up hiring in a fervor to trap the Unicorn and maintain their personal stake in the treasure-hunt. Which has resulted in many IC’s leaving; experienced IC’s will choose not to work for crazy.

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
