Pros

Good access to knowledge & Training, work/collaborate with highly talented individuals.

Cons

People management is extremely poor, with clear bias in how projects are assigned and promotions are handled. The same individuals keep getting opportunities, while others are left out. If you end up on the bench, you're blamed or even bullied for it. Your interests and preferences don’t matter—what matters is blindly agreeing to whatever your manager assigns, only then do you stay in their good books. Over time, it feels like they deliberately push you toward resigning, so they can avoid the accountability of formally letting an employee go (due to labor laws in the region)

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.
