Pros

I believe the Marketing department has a lot of promise. That may actually be the only department that is actually worth going to.

Cons

Leadership team is a serious embarrassmen. It is simply the blind leading the blind. No one has a clue of what is going on and when you try to tell them or even show them, because they are so clueless of what to do nothing ever happens and they continue to make more of a mess of the entire department. They rather promote and praise those that have no idea of what they are supposed to do, those that don't do a good job, and those that have nothing else to do so they complain about working. However, those that actually work and do a great job at their job get beat down "verbally", belittled, demoted, and unappreciated.

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.
