Pros

The benefits and pay are competitive and you'll work with other talented engineers.

Cons

Several layers of middle management have been added and they are running the ship aground. Expect to work long hours and outside of business hours with no support or compensation. GitHub used to regularly promote engineers for exceptional work, but that has changed. Promotions and special bonuses have been non existent over the past 2 years.
