Pros

Seemed like a great company overall, except for the existence of the team that I was on being a huge mark against them

Cons

- Team constantly informed me that they had no time for me and I was on my own as a new employee dealing with customers - Asked me to show something off to customers that didn't work, blamed me even though it was shown to not work - Ignored reports of bugs and security holes that affected customers - Ignored customer complaints - Violated policies when it favored my boss and asked me to keep quiet about it - Stuck to policies when it was in boss' favor to do so - Boss' bad ideas were no longer his if something went wrong

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.
