Pros

Smart people, pretty well organized, and supportive of employees. There is good work to do and you really can feel like you are changing the world.

Cons

Their growth creates challenges with communication and with conflicting assignments and priorities. Some folks (mid-level managers) are rather taken with themselves. Pay could definitely be better.

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.
