Pros

- Good benefits package - Recharge days that don't count against PTO - Some really great people to work, intelligent and kind

Cons

- The culture is definitely changing. It's not quite as open or collaborative. FUD is ruling the company at the moment. - It doesn't matter how much people deny, IBM is shifting the culture and priorities. An influx of IBM leadership into different areas has created a different feel and tone with company-wide meetings. - FUD means a lot of morale issues. Managers are being asked to sustain morale when our own morale is flagging. - We never had layoffs before, and it was never ever presented as a possibility. That is a massive shift in philosophy and has left many long-time associates feeling betrayed and angry.

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.
