Pros

Excellent benefits, good PTO, and the best is that you are to "build" your own schedule for the week (up to some extent).

Cons

It's really difficult to get promotions, the only way you get a new job is to move to another area at the company. Management doesn't seem to be too interested in their associate's careers.

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.
