Pros

very strong company values. All hires are highly intelligent. A company with a startup spirit, yet the size of the company is increasing a lot annually. If you believe in open source, this is a very good place to work.

Cons

lacking of personal growth and career possibilities.

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.
