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.

Pros

- Hybrid Settings - Good Salary - Help Improve Proffesional Achievement

Cons

- The Energy its like Start-Up Company but the client is well established corporate so kind of contradictive - Their own office barely being used since most of the time we are onsite on client office - You cannot be permanent employee by direct, but they will make you fixed term associate but with still permanent employee benefit - Health Insurance really not quite good if compare to smaller company
