Pros

Collabora is committed to Open Source in a genuine way.

Cons

Low compensation. Working multiple projects at once can be grueling. Deadlines can be very tight. Combine that with jumping between new codebases and domains can be very high stress. There are also some things Collabora isn't up front about. Like how people who bring in a new project and/or lead it sometimes are compensated a percentage of the value of the project, and how to become a partner (you can't unless current ones vote you in).

Pros

easy to submit time sheet, paid every 2 weeks, accumulate vacation, not onsite so no micro management - no punching a time clock, just electronically submit time.

Cons

everyone is very hard to understand due to strong accents. Staff reads from a script each time the call - even to check in. Quite condescending to not have a real conversation - even responses are scripted.

At Collabora we do not see accents as an issue, we are an international company and our accents are a great sign of diversity. Sorry if you felt that conversations were script based and tick boxed, this isn't common practice and nor the way we operate.
