      Incredible place to work

      Pros

      I get paid extremely well to work with caring people on challenging engineering problems for a product that I believe in from the comfort of my home office. Oh, and that product is GitHub! This is the best job I've ever had.

      Cons

      GitHub is growing rapidly, so there's a lot to do. It's easy to overcommit yourself into a bad work/life balance, or find yourself in need of work from an overloaded team. As long as you're mindful of those edges and ensure you're working on important things, you can create quite a place for yourself here.

      Low process means experience varies highly per team

      Pros

      There are many like minded, open source, equity and equality minded people around the company.

      Cons

      The leadership has trouble committing to a process and has terrible culture sense. Every year there is a new evaluation process rolled out. Do not expect executives to be the ones leading culture— thus experiences vary greatly between teams. Little commitment and follow through with anything employee culture or community equity related. Projects are at the whim of clout chasing executives and heavily exudes "popularity contest".
