      Pros

      Lots of good people. Pay OK, benefits OK, culture OK in pockets.

      Cons

      It's difficult to maintain the culture as a company grows. The acquisition by IBM hasn't helped. The culture is still strong in pockets, but many mid-level managers are just looking out for themselves and many VPs are not at the table when critical decisions are being made. IBM acquired a growth company but is trying to run it like a boring, stable company.

      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.
