Pros

A lot of good people who genuinely care about their work. The perks and compensation were out of this world.

Cons

Any amount of "unlimited vacation" was very hard to take, especially given the growth of the org and general lack of planning. Same goes for holidays. Leadership decisions unclear at best, and shady at worst. Had a hard time understanding why some were let go, and how others had managed to still be there even after not really doing their job.

While we wish you had a different experience at GitHub, we do sincerely appreciate this feedback. Unlimited PTO can be tough to enforce, but we absolutely want everyone to feel like you can take the time you need off. We will continue to build upon our employee performance reviews, and work to make what details we can as transparent to the organization as possible when it comes to management or leadership changes. There is still work to do, and we are genuinely committed to seeing this work through.

Pros

Remote work with some really great team mates

Currently GitHub seems to be all over the place and with some key Leadership moving on, the replacements seem to be mainly coming from MSFT.
