Pros

I work remote. They care more about results than hours worked. I get to work with the open source community. The managers have a high respect for their engineers. Everyone I work with is a team player, there's no dead weight. It's hard to write 20 words about the"cons" of working here ;-)

Cons

They really want you to share hotel rooms when you travel. You have to give weekly status reports. You have to take ethics training once a year (via online).

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.
