Each individual can make a difference because management is always listening and open to new ideas. Creativity in problem-solving is encouraged.

Cons

Micromanagement of deliverables. Atmosphere is not condusive to feeling ownership of products / services. Too much decision-making authority in the hands of non-technical people, even when the problem at hand is 100% technical.

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.
