Do you mind sharing what school you went to? My partner is looking at getting into software engineering and I don't think a bootcamp is comprehensive enough for them and would prefer they look for schools like this.

> Coke I don't think has been as good about diversifying their income stream

Coca Cola definitely has a diverse brand set of income streams including Minute Made, Nature's Own, Odwalla, and Vitamin Water

Something I wish the companies did at my last jobs was tell me more about how the business operates. The first week or so at a job usually overwhelms employees with very low-level work (how the release pipeline works, coding best practices) , that it's easy to lose track of what the overall goal of the business is.

Taking the time to explain some of the higher level processes can provide a lot of context for why certain operations work the way they do.

I personally like to know:

1. The history of the business

2. Which problems it solves well, and which it needs improvement in.

3. Which problems it has failed at solving in the past.

I doubt this is really due to the protests. Remington's quality has been dropping for years. Their most popular model, the 870, used to be one of the most reliable and affordable shotguns out there, but now it is one of the worst ones you can buy. It seems just a coincidence that this is happening at such a high point of the gun control movement.

No control group, or even a second group that also rode man-powered bikes? 1 month with 20 participants? Not to mention that people who own electric bikes are already predisposed to a healthy lifestyle. This isn't a very well done study.

This seems totally out of left-field move that only provides PR for SurveyMonkey. And while that may be somewhat true, this decision actually makes more sense if you dive into Serena's more recent endeavors.

Aside from being one of the world's greatest tennis players, she is clearly an accomplished business woman. She has started her own clothing line, owns a portion of the Miami Dolphins, and has started several successful charities. Most importantly, she knows how to market herself really really well.

Board members don't always have to have directly related experience to the companies they advise. A progressive company like SurveyMonkey that puts a lot of effort into supporting charities and positive social changes could really use the insight of someone like Serena.
