Pros

Nice location, nice benefits, free food

Cons

Middle management is killing Mozilla. There is zero accountability and many appear to have no respect at all for the mission or for the organization’s values. My first manager spent a year doing nothing to advance the team nor think long-term about us as individuals or about how our work fed into the organization’s objectives. She left after a year, having “finished paying for her mortgage.” My second manager was no better. A overall tragedy of a human being. He has since been promoted. HR is no better, sadly. Conniving and untrustworthy. I don’t want to go into details since this is a public forum. A real shame.

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.
