Pros

Open source passion courses through this company like no-where else, if that interests you then there's no-where else quite like it.

Cons

Still quite a young company, so there are some things that just aren't in place yet or don't work very well, there's also some people that have been there for too long...

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.
