Pros

I think is all about pros. A really cool company with good benefits, good professionals working in it. You are kinda your own boss, is the first place in which they told me, "Find something you like and work on it".

Cons

Things that are really hard: The onboarding process. Passing the learning curve. Getting actually things to do.

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.
