Pros

Mozilla is full of smart folks who are willing to help each other out in a pinch. We all work together, if someone's very busy and there's stuff going on, others will offer to help. It's a *very* good environment for remote workers - 75% of my team is remote, so nobody has the feeling they missed something because they weren't "in the office". The bonuses are indeed real, and the salary itself is competitive.

Cons

The developers choose the technology they work on with very little input from the Systems team, so sometimes we have to manage something that's completely inappropriate to the technology involved. However, that's actually changing in 2012 - already in 2011 there were some changes that developers did not like at first, but appreciate that we can better support them. So we're doing more of that, and hopefully this con will go away.

Pros

Mozilla is Mission-based organization and nothing trumps the mission so you know you always get to "do the right thing". It's also a collection of some of the smartest people involved in the development of the Web.

Cons

Mozilla is a non-profit and depends heavily on a volunteer community to be competetive. These are not downsides unless you're unfamiliar with them and unwilling to learn. They do make Mozilla different from pretty much every other Web company though and it's not for everyone.

Pros

The people are smart and are also very nice. You get to work on cool technology, completely in the open. Ergonomic keyboard? Jetbrains license? Macbook Air? All checks. You get to choose your tools, both software and hardware. Open-minded about just everything. Using new tools if it fits the job is a given. You get to travel every so often, either to go to "all-hands" meetings quarterly and/or to "work weeks", when you travel to gather with your team in some location in the world. Generous bonus, paid quarterly, nice perks, nice office, nice working environment, espresso machine, occasional catered lunches and of course the work itself is very interesting.

Cons

- It may be a bit hard to get started at Mozilla if you don't already know someone. This is due to the distributed nature of teams. Make friends and ask them to show you around to get up to speed faster. - No stocks
