      Pros

      Great people, friendly and very supportive through the pandemic. Additional day off each quarter and support with mental health.

      Cons

      No transparency in pay, promotions are based on tenure rather than skills. Often dealing with incompetent managers or those that have got far too comfortable earning high salaries with no new ideas or knowledge of what’s going on in the real world.

      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.
