Pros

You'll barley need to do any work if you attend all the social justice meetings. No accountability, if someone needs help just say you can't or it's not your job, then you don't have to do anything. You won't have to worry about being paid any less when not working since the customers foot the bill when employees stops working to attend social justice meetings.

Cons

Leaders not running a business but rather a social justice company, playing one sided politics. If you don't agree they want you out, then leadership can do what they please without question.

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.
