Pros

Salary is competitive, some benefits are generous

Cons

Management is poor and it's a very secretive society. They do not communicate important information with other department members. Be very careful if you are reaching an age considered "old". You will soon start receiving contrived reviews that will eventually warrant a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) and dismissal from the company is 100% imminent no matter what your past reviews or company performance has been in the past.

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.
