Pros

-Good benefits -Unlimited PTO -Max out HSA - work life balance

Cons

Ever since the CEO stepped down, the company feels to me like its heading south. Many of the teams are floating on their own without managers/directors or any form of leadership. They put in product managers who have ZERO vision to be in charge of managing important features of Github. From being fairly transparent, they have started a "hush-hush" culture where you don't know where and how decisions are being made. This is not at all a good time to join GitHub. They hire and they fire very quickly if you don't fit into their culture of all-talk and get no real work done. Politics is heavily rewarded. Honesty and speaking your mind is frowned upon.
