Pros

Smart people with management that cares about my career path. Started out as a contractor and was then offered full time placement with a very nice offer. I had heard that Red Hat tends to offer a little less to their software engineers than the market average, but that was not my experience. I've seen no ill effects since IBM acquired us. A really great place to work!

Cons

None. I'd have to be really nitpicky to find something.

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.
