Pros

Some of the smartest engineers I've ever worked with are here. Mostly friendly people

Cons

leadership has no clue what they're doing. They're running Mozilla like a for profit except it doesn't make any profit, and they have no incentives to do otherwise. Rolling layoffs for the past 2 years. They buy startups just to shutter them. They start and grow products and kill them off just as they've reached a tipping point. They miss easy layups like chrome moving to manifest v3 for extensions. Honestly it feels like they're just on the Titanic stuffing as much silverware into their pockets as they can at this point.

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.
