    5.0

    Current Employee / Engineer II, Software Development & Engineering

    Pros: Fantastic teammates and benefits. The health benefits are incredible. Haven’t seen anything else like it.

    Great Brand

    5.0

    Current Employee / Director of Customer Success

    Pros: Great Culture and brand. Amazing benefits. Fully remote company that uses GitHub to build GitHub. Owned by Microsoft with shares and ESPP. I learned a lot while the business was growing! The company is trying to get out of startup cul...

    Cons: Runs a very lean business in multiple departments and functions which does not scale as quickly as the business needs. Team members are stretched due to workload. Can be chaotic in communications internally and externally.

    Current Employee / Marketing Operations

    Pros: - Great benefits ($6500 a year for home office, fitness classes, etc.) - Competitive pay - Remote work environment

    Cons: - Everything is a last minute, all hands on deck fire drill since CEO left in 2025 - No direction or over-arching goals for the company - No opportunities for growth (promotions, L&D) - Toxic culture with bad managers

    Microsoft influence increasing, for the worse

    3.0

    Current Employee / Operations Lead

    Pros: Really talented people, good benefits, generally good WLB outside of peak times (Universe, etc)

    Cons: Microsoft’s influence has continued to grow, to the detriment of company culture, clear leadership vision, and more. We’ve been operation with 0 resources and have not been backfilling positions, and are expected to keep up with competitors
