      Pros

      Get a chance to work with interesting open source software. Some fantastically smart people to work with.

      Cons

      Very much a boys club. Can easily get boxed into a particular role. No room for growth. Lack of proper guidence and management. Information and company decisions heavily filtered. Some knowledge hiding.

      Pros

      - Good team culture and work-life balance if you have the right management chain - Remote work if you're not close to an office - Leadership transparency and willingness to hear feedback

      Cons

      - Constant re-orgs without strategy are destabilizing - Manager pool is very mixed in terms of experience and skill - Poor role definition can lead to surprises at quarterly review time - Layoffs/reductions have had a chilling effect - Lower salaries compared to competitors
