Pros
- "thinking tech company that's working hard to bring in more and more of the most talented and diverse engineers, salespeople, customer supportocats, and admin staff... it's truly impressive and exciting to know that I have the privilege to be part of this awesome team and company." (in 12 reviews)
Cons
- "Remote working is great but if you want to meet in person in a location outside SF or Bellevue it might be difficult or impossible, team travel budget has been slashed after a recent layoff." (in 5 reviews)

- 5.0Sep 18, 2023Inside Solutions EngineerCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearSeattle, WA
Pros

Cons
Normal growing pains for a fast growing company
- 3.0Aug 23, 2023Solutions EngineerFormer Employee, more than 3 years
Pros
- A really strong product in the market, sell like hot cakes - Lots of smart, passionate people who genuinely wants to solve problems. A lot of the people still try to practice its values of being open and empathetic - Be part of a company that is at the core of all developer tools - High pay, good benefits
Cons
- Microsoft culture is seeping in even though we were "trained" to say that Microsoft is leaving us as an independent business. Lots of people coming over from Microsoft bring toxic behaviors like not being transparent and requiring heavy operational process / gatekeeping information. Many of them also coast and do not come online or do not have work to show - High revenue growth expectations put a lot of good people under pressure and the fun, collaborative culture of github is long gone; people who feel the pressure are less empathetic and become really pushy to get things done - The layoffs completely changed everything and it's sad to see that we're no longer the company we once were. So many layers of middle management were added in the last 2 years while many front line folks were laid off. Customer-facing services are being outsourced, and customers do not get the same quality of care anymore

What are the chances of my landing an entry level data analyst role? Background: I don't currently work in tech but in customer service. I graduated with a BS in chemistry 3 years ago & have some relevant experience to that. To pivot into DA, I've built my portfolio with dashboards on tableau & attached SQL projects on github. I also gained multiple SQL, tableau, data analysis certificates on LI, google, and other sources. I've sent over 200+ at this point and no offers. What should I do?

I have been trying to get GitHub copilot access at my job for like 2 months now bc I’m an idiot coder and it’s taking FOREVEEEr. In group chats and town halls so many people ask about “how are we using AI to advance our business blah blah blaaaah”, but then here I am knocking on every door in the company asking for access to an AI tool and it’s like I’m a ping pong ball So I see that all these MBBs are gungHo on “enabling AI” in your clients, and yada yada— so what would u suggest I try/do?

I already have permission to get it from “the business leadership”, and my boss has a budget for software, and that’s okay, but the IT help desk at my company is so short staffed that tickets take so long I think. I’m a remote worker, but the IT support is in Houston and who tf wants to move to Houston to do IT support I’m sorry, so I see the bottleneck, but !!!??? 😶🌫️

I want to break into IT Project Management and have made that clear on my LinkedIn, GitHub, etc. but recruiters still only contact me for Software Engineering roles and I really just want to move on from it. Any advice?

This doesn’t answer your question but why do you wanna move into IT PM rather than software engineering?

How does GitHub copilot work – does it just plug into your existing editor? Could any company build an editor plugin on top of OpenAI?
3
There are plugins for several editors. OpenAI is a company, not a product. Any company can build an editor plugin on OpenAI's GPT APIs, but those don't expose the same model that Copilot uses.

Are you getting interviews? I’d encourage you to look into more advanced skillsets in this market. SQL skills are a dime a dozen
