Pros

High pay, good benefits, beautiful work environment, as the first to enter the niche open source market, they are well positioned in the market.

Cons

Incredibly hypocritical. “Open” culture is a branding gimmick, nothing more. They are not transparent about their policies and management decisions. Outside the legal department, ethics are not important. The legal department has very little leverage. HR will not accommodate certain types of disabilities, which is illegal and completely discriminatory. Don’t believe the hype, and if you do accept an offer, don’t drink the koolaid.

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.
