Pros

Well known brand, good co-workers for the most part

Cons

This company once had amazing leadership but that is no longer the case. The CEO and Chief People Officer are both awful, no idea how to lead a company or motivate people. As a result the culture has taken a major hit. The company recently had layoffs despite fantastic revenue numbers, which further hurt morale. Just a bad place to work.

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.
