      Pros

      Culture drives proactive, results-driven behavior. Focus on independent actions and individual accountability. Reasonably flexible work environment.

      Cons

      Need fresh blood esp in management. "Old Guard" is suffocating and has lead to nepotism. Change is slow coming and hard won. For a still small-ish company, compared to competitors like Oracle, MSFT, and IBM, the politics are astounding. Poor, ineffective managers are allowed to continue in their rolls without being replaced or re-trained.

      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.
