Pros

• Great, smart people • Ability to work on products that are used by millions • Incredibly dedicated community • Ability to travel and work remotely • Good compensation for working in open source • More transparent than other companies with the ability to have an open dialogue with management and co-workers.

Cons

• Because of the work remotely policy offices (at least in the Bay Area) were empty. If you like to work in person with your co-workers you will struggle here. • Far more corporate and "big company" than I expected with all the politics, bureaucracy and indecision I had experienced at large companies I had worked for. • Strategy on my own product and company overall was unclear. This made the culture tense and sometimes toxic. • Too many things to do and not enough resources.

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.
