Pros

* I love many of my colleagues - my department is lovely * Good work-life balance * Pay is decent * Great pandemic response * Around six weeks of PTO

Cons

* Not diverse * They don't seem to realize religious minorities exist and it's alienating * I face the usual women's problems in tech - people assuming I'm not an engineer, that I don't know what I'm talking about, nasty comments, etc. * I was sexually harassed a couple of times in the cafeteria by middle-aged men I don't work with (there are some lovely folks who work at Red Hat, as well as some really, really horrible ones)

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.
