Not worth it with all the politics

Pros

Benefits are decently good, maternity leave is great

Cons

For a company that talks about how inclusive they are, welcome diversity and encourage females to lead and have a voice people sure are judgey around here and like to create issues. God forbid you rub someone the wrong way. Take it from me - you will get pushed out with zero explanation. Guys on the other hand…. do whatever you want and no one will think twice. Things changed for the worse when Microsoft bought us out and you really have to be a specific type of person to get anywhere here and if you’re not, best of luck. Combine all that and the politics that go on internally this is definitely not the company that I signed up for. You have to be a specific type of person to get anywhere in this company, promotions are few to none. Run immediately and don’t waste your time.

Pros

Great culture and benefits. Most people in the company are extrememly accessible regardless of their level, from the C-Suite down I've had great interations with Hubbers and an entrepreneurial spirit still thrives even in the Microsoft ecosystem

Cons

There are some strange growing pains and business challenges for a company the size of GitHub that I did not anticipate when I joined. There are a lot of operational things to improve on and until this is done there are a lot of Hubbers overworked and distracted from actual value-add activities because they're stuck in administrative activities
