We genuinely value your feedback. We're continuing to launch management training initiatives across GitHub, and have seen a positive impact on our employees' experiences. You mentioned that employee expectations are inconsistent and we are disappointed to hear that. We want the expectations for employees to be both consistent and clear and would love to chat with you further about where you feel we fall short of this. As a current Hubber, we would love the opportunity to engage with you to improve your experiences. Please reach out to your HR partner or contact us via email at @HR.

Pros

Remote work with some really great team mates

Cons

Currently GitHub seems to be all over the place and with some key Leadership moving on, the replacements seem to be mainly coming from MSFT.
