I never knew Mozilla had a toxic culture. Could you expand on this (or any other former Mozilla employees attest to this)?

- codezero 8y agoI haven't worked there so I don't want to go into detail as it would all be hearsay. I based this on some research I had done before considering a role there. I mainly read online, posts by former employees, and glassdoor reviews.
- sstangl 8y agoI have worked on Mozilla's JS team since 2010. I think our team culture is acceptable. Glossing over details, Mozilla Corp seems to have two cultures: one for engineering and team management, and another for mid-to-upper-level management. When these two groups interact, it tends to produce unhappiness. Over the years, that has been the source of most griping I've heard from coworkers, particularly when they need upper management's approval. Different parts of the company are pretty isolated from each other, and there's no real standardization, so experiences across the company likely differ from mine. The personal experience would depend a lot on who your manager is and how strongly they're able to advocate on your behalf, particularly when it comes to things like expanding your role and getting paid for that.

This is in line with what I've heard from my friends who stayed longer than I did. But from my perspective now, wow does this sound toxic. It's sad to see things be like this, I loved Mozilla for most of the time that I was there.
