Pros

A while ago it was an aggressively cool place with a lot of vision. Now... it looks good on a resume?

Cons

The leadership confuses 'chasing growth' for vision. The most innovative products/features are dead or KTLO while leadership mindlessly chases Copilot (which is already being outdone by Cursor and Windsurf). They are also pushing for 'performance culture' which would be fine, except they don't state what that means. They're just making folks anxious and ruining morale for no good reason.

Remote work with some really great team mates

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.
