Pros

Nail the art or virtual workforce. Benefits are great - but taken advantage of Lots of folks who believe in what they do very strongly

Cons

Imagine you are watching game of thrones - this is how it plays out in the Mozilla world. A CEO who doesn't know how to be a CEO. A staff to the CEO that is plotting behind, around, in front of --- all the while churning chaos, confusion and discord throughout. Throw in a reorg and bring in the king in the north...opps... nope. Killed that one. Back to basics --- wait, firefox use-base is still shrinking? despite everything banked on quantum? despite giving monster promos to all kinds of folks, just because? And then take an HR department that has 80%+ turnover on a YoY basis. In case you're wondering, HR folks tend to be change averse. So they stick around longer than normal. If an HR org have high turnover, that's a culture worthy of a game of thrones cliffhanger. Not to mention that diversity and inclusion is just an echo chamber here.

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.
