Pros

- Remote - MSFT RSUs doing very well In-demand product

Cons

- Almost the entirety of leadership are formerly long-tenured Microsoft employees, and bring with them a fairly toxic work environment - Lots of fire drills and a blame-y culture - The exec team can't decide what kind of company they want or how to lead - Many teams are chronically understaffed - Just sort of has this weird underlying unhappiness covered up by fake positivity

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.
