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

- Beautiful product - Inspiring community that uses the product - One of the rare offices located in the city

Cons

- CEO tends to promote friends only (look at who is at the top - they are generally friends or early employees that became friends) - Virtually no women at the top or second level. The company keeps issuing press releases to try and mask this. - Unclear expectations for success in role - are you rated on how well you achieve metrics or who you're friends with? - Very bro-y culture. If you're not part of the bros, you really don't matter.
