Pros

Good benefits, reasonable compensation, good products. Free food. Fun company events. Good brand. CEO is great. Good acquisitions, especially Ansible and 3 Scale.

Cons

Channel leadership is a mess. Product leadership has a not invented here mentality. Not a real enterprise software company. Leadership is clubby and parochial. HR is a mess. Stock appreciation doesn't keep pace with market peers.

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.
