GitHub

The benefits are incredible, and you can work from home. Yep, that covers the pros.

Management can make or ruin a company.

When I started, we had a great management team, so positive! There were all-hands meetings, and people were promoted and rewarded for hard work.

Now, those people have all left. This new management team came in like Scar from The Lion King.

There are far fewer promotions, and all-hands meetings are gone. This new CEO, Thomas Dohmke, lied to everyone, saying they were doubling the merit cycle rewards. In reality, he cut it in half. People are now just numbers. Hard work does not matter.

They make you get peer reviews, but they carry no weight.

Turnover is at an alarming rate and will continue.

Worst of all, they punish you for moving. They will rip away 10-30% of your pay if you leave the Bay Area.

This company has lost its way. I won't be shocked if it goes down in flames soon.

Customer service is all gone. It's a shame. GitHub had something great here. It was the place to be and work. Now, it's just a job.

I won't be here much longer and won't give notice. They don't deserve that respect.

Please do not work here, you will regret it!

Advice? Just leave. You will anyway after you screw us all over. You get these managers from headhunters. They don't want to work here. You throw a ton of money at them to screw over the long-time employees so they will quit. Job well done! All the good ones have left, haha. This will bite you in the end. MSFT made a huge error buying this company.
