Pros

Technical employees are some of the best out there. Work is engaging. Lots of perks to working there.

Cons

Salary is dreadfully low. Almost all of management are drones that seem to forget where they came from as soon as they step into the role. The workload is enough for twice the number of employees they have. They hire at a snail's pace, and people leave twice as fast.

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.
