Pros

Remote work is good. Tech stack is nice to work on. Some very smart and capable engineering teams.

Cons

Bad management and leadership is going to be the death of this company. There are almost zero opportunities for promotion now for staff who have been there for years, and management continually finds ways to make it more confusing and difficult to work towards career progression. Salaries have totally stalled out - they released salary ranges for different roles and just about everyone is in the lower or middle range regardless of performance. Raises aren't keeping up with the cost of living, and more and more responsibilities are added to roles with nothing given to employees in return. Many good people are looking for opportunities outside the company or have already left, a lot of those left are lazy or incompetent.

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.
