Pros

Remote work is the norm Big impact on millions of developers

Cons

The average GitHub developer is decent, but not as consistently good as at other tech companies I've worked for. There are some pockets of extremely competent engineers, though. Currently trying to figure out their AI strategy, and both product and management seem to change directions weekly.

Cons

The recent string of layoffs have been unnerving.
