Pros

My peers here are incredibly smart, talented, knowledgeable, experienced, eager to share and help, and a joy to work with. Ignoring the excellent compensation and benefits, and the developing career opportunities, these people alone are worth working at GitHub for. The product is constantly getting better, and the people here care intensely about continuing that trend.

Cons

Organizational changes have been slow and a bit rocky. Many I've spoken to have reported bad experiences with managers or peers, though most others are perfectly happy and growing.

Business strategy communication is weak, making it harder to sync up with leadership.

Advice to Management

Transparency is a cultural cornerstone. If you are changing that, or any other cultural facet, be deliberate and explicit about it.
