Pros

• Remote company • Superficial tech company benefits if those matter to you - swag, onsite trips, etc

Cons

• Leadership (CEO Thomas D.) models behavior that's questionable in character and openly says one value and behaviors oppositely • Lack of strong strategy, clarity of purpose and value of work • Constant mindset of "giving the least" - I was originally hired in one market and when I moved to another they wanted to CUT my pay by 15K for 'cost of living adjustment' • Extensive redundant, regressive, discouraging bureaucracy - direct from Microsoft • Destructive legacy mindset from "senior" members about tech workers - only developers have value and should be able on demand to recite any technical intricacy or detail when asked • Recognition of experience, skills or knowledge is rare and highly diminished - promotions take multiple years and when raises or no advancement is awarded no explanation is given

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.
