Pros

- Good management - Promote learning - Up to date tech

Cons

Bonus system is calculated oddly - you have to work on 60% billable hours in a 3 month period to get full bonus. If you are working on non billable hours i.e. doing internal work, or unpaid work for a customer but work none the less, you lose out on your bonus. We had a quiet period where there was projects in the pipeline but they were a few weeks/months off starting. I was doing fulltime work on a non billable project and because of this I lost my bonus, even though I was still working hard.

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.
