Pros

-Great benefits, great office environment. Very outspoken, opinionated employees. Able to be original. Salary was average.

Cons

Not a ton of position growth unless someone is fired or you move to an entirely new position. Because of the outspokeness...some comments can be harsh or offensive. Definitely need a thick skin.

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.
