Pros
Only ubuntu is worth it. Roadmap sessions are good opportunity for ppl to meet but people are usually humiliated in their presentations to c*. if you have no interaction with c* then its fine
Cons
Its a wierd organization. No body is convinced about recruitment process, performance management , delivery. Most of things ard micromanaged with no authority worth with any body apart from ceo and may be cto. Performance management is a joke. In general people are judged in terms of goals and targets. Here it is more of popularity contest which they claim as 360. If you are popular you donot need to do anything.. no need to deliver anything. Just try to be hero joining sessions and presentations. No body including hr is convinced but hr will claim they are so proud of this recruitment and performance process. The popularity contest ensure 1. people who do not like it anyways leave 2. Other people who are juniors or new are removed. People leaving does not matter as dont seem to care. Very few people stay more that 1-2 years. They should analyze employee aging and aging of people who leave or made to leave. They wont care anyways.
