Pros

Company and products are great Strong company culture of helping one another

Cons

New CS VP leader spends more time promoting himself than improving the business. No real relevant experience and it’s showing. Lack of confidence in CS VP is slowing business growth and causing serious morale concerns. The poll will show this. He needs to seek more input vs telling everyone how much he knows. “Show me vs tell me”

Pros

- A really strong product in the market, sell like hot cakes - Lots of smart, passionate people who genuinely wants to solve problems. A lot of the people still try to practice its values of being open and empathetic - Be part of a company that is at the core of all developer tools - High pay, good benefits

Cons

- Microsoft culture is seeping in even though we were "trained" to say that Microsoft is leaving us as an independent business. Lots of people coming over from Microsoft bring toxic behaviors like not being transparent and requiring heavy operational process / gatekeeping information. Many of them also coast and do not come online or do not have work to show - High revenue growth expectations put a lot of good people under pressure and the fun, collaborative culture of github is long gone; people who feel the pressure are less empathetic and become really pushy to get things done - The layoffs completely changed everything and it's sad to see that we're no longer the company we once were. So many layers of middle management were added in the last 2 years while many front line folks were laid off. Customer-facing services are being outsourced, and customers do not get the same quality of care anymore
