Pros

Some great people, excellent technology.

Cons

Old boys club, very few women in management and they are treated VERY poorly. One Senior Director had 5 formal complaints against him and is still employed. I was told by HR that unless you submit a written complaint, they take zero action against complaints lodged by phone, other than "speaking with" the subject of the complaint.

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.
