Pros

Employee- friendly, ambitious, original company based on innovative approach to doing IT business. Its opensource mission make it attractive for clever and extraordinary people globally. Excellent opportunities to learn, grow and have impact on the development of IT business.

Cons

Quick growth results in inner fight between being open community based organisation and standard US IT corporation with cemented internal structure and distant command-control center in the US... There is a threath that at some point the open organisation philosophy of the company will be turned to pure marketing.

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.
