Pros

Delivery consists of top-tier talent Lower-to-middle level management really try, but are limited by senior leadership Tons of better opportunities outside of the public sector consulting team if you're able to escape

Cons

Morale is at rock bottom. Tons of people very displeased and unable to clearly express their concerns without fear of recourse. Leadership is stuck in the past. Looking for an easy solution by making questionable hiring decisions externally.

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.
