| Have you been reading the Mozilla Glassdoor reviews? https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Mozilla-Reviews-E19129.htm I'm subscribed to the RSS feed and I think there are clues in the posts over the last couple of years to explain why Mozilla feels so fake nowadays. Here are some choice quotes (FWIW I use Firefox on Desktop and Android pretty much exclusively, I think the product is great but the marketing is terrible): "I have never worked for a company with so many middle managers." "Full of corporate middle managers with not much to do. Expect many meetings with product managers, engineering managers, project managers, strategy managers, with one developer to solve simple problems." "Management is rotten to the core. The company is very top heavy with some 30 executives that travel the world first class to have meetings in lavish places but in the end nothing comes from it." "Cut the corporate bs at the top and empower the people doing actual work to drive where the company goes." "Company vision and mission is feel-good therapy for the upper inner-circle. The company is bleeding talent and the core business is imploding." |
There's some really good technical work still coming out of the org, Rust, Servo, and the various pieces of Quantum have me more excited about software than I have been in a while; but the increasing number of non-technical missteps are making it hard to support the company as a whole.
