      Pros

      Pay transparency means you can see that they aren't paying you what they claim they should be.

      Cons

      Endless paper work. Endless meetings about the paper work. Stagnate upward mobility. Upper levels block promotions and raises without knowing anything about your team or what you do.

      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.
