Pros

Remote work. Decent pay and benefits.

Cons

I’ve never seen a company decline like GitHub. What was once a fun, upbeat culture has now become a cold… dishonest and boring environment. Total lack of empathy for customers and employees. I have seen senior leaders in customer success manipulate data and craft conclusions with no basis on fact. Metrics are shared that are not accurate and then data is manipulated to attempt to back up the lie. Anyone who speaks up is gone.
