Pros

High talent concentration in core platform (Gecko, SpiderMonkey, Research) teams. Still some standards body clout in spite of loss of browser market share. Brand has declining market power, could be a turnaround story with better management.

Cons

Management is lost at board, CEO, and almost all of the (shrinking) C level. Cash-only comp and historic sloppy management have spread peanut butter among weak and strong, leading to deserved rep as place to go and take it easy for reliable good salary+bonus and great perqs. Too little competent middle management. No career development, so talent that might move up goes elsewhere, for RSUs and better career path.

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.
