Pros

I did not find any that are worth sharing.

Cons

The place is ridiculously bad, in every aspect. I left after a short stint on peaceful terms. I was told the smart ones left a year or two ago and the idiots were left behind, and I concur from my experience.

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.
