Pros

Open source company, modern offices, free snacks, free travel, flexible work hours.

Cons

No product direction. Last 2 years of my life feel wasted. Terrible management that is tone-deaf to feedback. An internal survey showed that employees are disappointed by management. The CEO dismissed questions about it at an all-hands as "misunderstanding". Nepotism and politics everywhere. Uninspiring CEO pushed out all worthwhile executives and replaced them with his cronies, friends and failed former co-founders. Goals are set, missed and then buried. CEO spends most of his time on internal marketing to convince people things aren't as bad as they are instead of making things better. Few career opportunities for females and minorities. You have to be male and white to get promoted or be a director or executive at Mozilla.

Pros

Great health insurance benefits. Literally you pay nothing per pay check. Also parental leave is 6 months which is rare in the US. Wellness days were nice too.

Cons

Lack of black people in and promoted to senior / management positions even though there are many qualified people to be there. Also management cannot make decisions. They are leaps and bounds behind the competition and many lack competence.
