I’m not a tech fella – just a refugee from the Reddit collapse trying to find my way in a social media environment that feels more authentic, less corporate, and more free. So – here’s wishing all of you good luck in this position but for me, I’m just amazed that a major browser has the Fediverse on the radar. Isn’t this kind of a big deal?
AAA organization making a lemmy instance? I’d say so.
I have this huge fear that working for an actual good cause that I admire would make me feel constantly guilty that I’m not doing enough, or doing a good enough job. I find a lot of comfort in knowing I work for a soulsucking for profit corporation.
And yes, I also hate that I feel this way
Their US compensation tiers are not well-calibrated.
Interviewed with a recruiter for a senior role and realized the same. On top of that, the recruiter couldn’t answer some questions I had about the role, nor would connect me with someone who could but wanted me to do a coding round first. Overall not good experience. Later learned anecdotally that work culture at Mozilla isn’t great. I love what Mozilla is trying to do, use Firefox as my primary browser, and wanted to contribute my time to supporting the company, but came away disappointed.
I’ve been working there a long time, there are valid complaints, but poor work culture isn’t one I’ve normally heard. Of course it depends a lot on the specific manager, so I won’t deny specific anecdotal experiences. But generally I’d say the work culture is quite healthy.
Yeah Mozilla is only a shell of what it once was. They need some fresh blood
Yeah wow, hard to keep up with the rest of big tech without stock compensation.
They’re a former client. (Happenstance hit up old contact yesterday to pitch my current company)
Incredible humans. Meritocracy Everyone has a voice. And they get shit done. It’s almost like open source community plus money is good.
Where does Mozilla money come from?
Basically, Google.
No pay listed?
Positions like this often have very negotiable pay and for the employer it’s usually way more important to find the right person for the job than to find someone who’s within the budget.
