      Pros

      Truly open source culture, you work on upstream projects the world uses. Even as QE i get to contribute to dev work, build tools, contribute patches Engineering teams have autonomy, no micromanagement, remote friendly with good work life balance Smart people around you, you learn a lot and your experience stays industry relevant

      Cons

      Can feel slow, lots of process around, but I guess AI will fix that. Some teams are understaffed so you end up wearing many hats, but honestly that's also how you learn

      Pros

      Extremely talented and motivated people Great product and ecosystem around Kubernetes

      Cons

      Bluewashing is real. After 4 years past acquisition it is not Open Decision company anymore. There is no clear communication about the direction where the company goes, some departments were moved to IBM without clear explanation why. Promotion process that was clear before is gone, and now your salary increase or promotion are directly depend on your relationship with the manager and not from your contribution to the team or the product.
