Pros

-Open collaboration mindset -Good place to learn -Take on work you have a passion for -Promotes employee community -Quarterly bonus based on meeting financial goals

Cons

-Siloed departments due to executive level organization (sales&marketing, product&services, IT&finance&ops) causing duplication in processes and goal conflicts. -Disconnect between executives and employees -Emphasis on projects execution, but little focus on long term control and monitoring -Management reorganization every 16-18 months -1st line managers with poor skills (ie lack leadership skills) -Work not always recognized: promotion and advancement depends on who you know and your visibility in department rather than how hard you work. -No clear path to career advancement: 1st level managers promise future advancement opportunities and/or salary increases but don't follow through. - Easy to get burned out in hopes of improving your visibility to attain elusive career advancement

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.
