Pros

1. Open-source culture promotes a lot of collaboration and transparency of other projects. There is always someone to listen to your ideas and discuss with you. If you want to be involved in something, just ask! 2. Working with smart people makes you smarter! Higher effective conversations, many great ideas flowing around. It really gets you thinking outside of the box. 3. Management including our executives are all very approachable and down to earth. If you have an issue, or just want to chat, they will almost always have time for you!

Cons

Cons really depend on your individual team's dynamic and what group you are with. So it's hard to say.

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.
