Pros

Comfy environment with slow pace. Can learn a lot if willing to. No strict working hours. A lot of smart people you can learn from.

Cons

The slow pace can make you lazy and you can actually start rotting there. Need to stay sharp and don't let the lack of discipline to lower your standards.

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.
