Pros

Benefits are incredible and work from home. Yep, that covers the Pros.

Cons

Management can make or ruin a company. When I started we had a great Mgmt team, so positive! All hands meetings, people being promoted and rewarded for hard work. Now, those people have all left. This new MGMT team came in like Scar from the lion king. Far less promotions, All Hands meetings are gone, this new CEO Thomas Dohmke lied to everyone saying they were doubling up the merit cycle rewards, in reality, he cut it in half, people are now numbers. Hard work does not matter. They make you get peer reviews but they carry no weight. Turnover is at an alarming rate and will continue. Worst of all, they punish you for moving. They will rip away 10-30% of your pay if you leave the Bay Area. This company has lost its way. I wont be shocked if it goes down in flames soon. Customer service is all gone. Its a shame. Github had something great here. It was the place to be and work. Now, it's just a job. I wont be here much longer and wont give a notice. They dont deserve that respect. Please do not work here, you will regret it!
