Pros

The work/life balance is great most of the time.

Cons

To echo some previous reviews; Middle managers with nothing to do but micromanage, emotional abuse, complete lack of direction at a team/project level and at a company level. I was hired to bring new ideas and ways of thinking to my team. After a few months, I realized that all I had done was spin my wheels and do things "the way it's always been done". Because of this, I, like many others have lost all motivation to care and are hoping someone will wake up. For these reasons and a hundred more, I could never find myself recommending Mozilla to anyone unless Mozilla and really turn the ship around.

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.
