Pros

Good people. Good benefits. Average pay.

Cons

When the CEO says, “[Layoffs are] a healthy thing that you have to do every once in awhile”, you can never feel secure in your job. Especially if layoffs aren’t based on what you are contributing and only to what your title is. What is the incentive to give your best if it is irrelevant?

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.
