Pros

Love my compensation, especially the very generous stock option package. I know I will get an exercise extension upon termination so that is nice to have in my back pocket.

Cons

Where to start, I have been at GitHub for longer than I can remember. I enjoy working remotely with tremendous flexibility and great pay. However, this place is not sustainable anymore. I have not heard from our so-called CEO in close to a year, rumor is he is camped out in LA with his lady friend and forgot about us little people. He announced he is stepping down and hiring his replacement 6 months ago! So who is running the show, who is making decisions. Exactly, most of regular Hubbers are in the dark, no clue as to our future. Apparently our Chief Strategy Officer, who also leads; Marketing, HR, Real Estate, Strategy, Business Development and god knows what else is running the show. I call B.S. here. Julio is his namo and I along with many of my peers think he is not capable of this responsibility. Why is he so powerful, why can he fire at will, not fair and not fun to watch my beautiful company atrophy.

Pros

Remote work with some really great team mates

Cons

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.
