Pros

Fully embraces open-source, open-collaboration, and honest communication. Most other employees are fantastic people, easy to get along with, humble, and always willing to help.

Cons

The company in general does a very poor job of learning from it's own past mistakes. Post-pandemic leadership has been poor, with layoffs then re-hiring for some of the exact same positions. Employee-to-manager ratio is getting worse by the day. Over-payed executives and promotion of narcissists. Engineering teams are under-resourced and over-worked. Company is incredibly stingy when it comes to day-to-day operations, but overly generous with director-level and higher pay and bonuses.

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.
