I've Ellen Pao her in other contexts and found her incredibly engaged and supportive, so it was probably specific to crap going on at KPCB.
She is one of the best VCs I've ever interacted with; it sounds like she had a negative situation at KPCB (which hopefully the trial will resolve), but it absolutely isn't about her competence and intelligence otherwise.
By all accounts she's also doing very well as an operator at Reddit.
- mahranch 12y ago> By all accounts she's also doing very well as an operator at Reddit. That's completely the opposite of what the linked article claims. It says that a reddit employee sent the defense a letter asking to subpena reddit employees regarding conflicts with Ellen Pao.
- franklinho 12y agoMind you, the article's claim indicates that there is one employee at reddit that disagrees with her. That's no clear indication of her success/failure at reddit.
- rdl 12y agoYeah, I guess I meant "by every Reddit employee I've talked to, and by observing how much ass the site has been kicking since she joined, and especially since she took over as CEO". It's certainly not exhaustively researched, and I'd expect a company going through changes as massive as Yishan/Ellen wrought (moving everyone to SF from remote, operating more like a startup vs. a nonprofit, etc.), there'd be some discontent.
