Pros

lovely geeky company to work for, irc is prevalent, so everyone refers to everybody else using irc nick. great production support work as well as lots of work in engineering

Cons

can get stuck in tech support if you are not careful, quite possible that you may never move out of support so join in engineering if you want a dev job

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.
