Pros

My peers here are incredibly smart, talented, knowledgeable, experienced, eager to share and help, and a joy to work with. Ignoring the excellent compensation and benefits, and developing career opportunities, these people alone are worth working at GitHub for. The product is constantly getting better and the people here care intensely about continuing that trend.

Cons

Organizational changes have been slow and a bit rocky. Many I've spoken to have reported bad experiences with managers or peers, though most others are perfectly happy, growing, etc. Business strategy communication is weak, making it harder to sync up with leadership.

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.
