Pros

If you believe the meritocracy exists then you are fooling yourself. Bad actors are the standard in every department. Sexual assault is common and is constantly having to be covered up.

Cons

It is actually worse than described above. We sell hires on stories of a culture at Red Hat, but there has not been a culture here for a decade. The pay is also way below midpoint of market value.

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.
