      Pros

      One of the best Tech companies period. Lots to learn, amazing people to learn from. A few times I was looking to find out who wrote something, figuring it they were halfway around the world, when they were two or three cubicles away. Some of the brightest minds in the Open Source world are sitting next to you and always willing to help.

      Cons

      If you're not doing development, it's kind of boring. Kind of really, really boring. It quickly turns from a fun, laid back place, into a desert of cubicles where you're trying to fight to stay awake until 5pm.

      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.
