Pros

Cutting Edge place to work

Cons

Management pays lip service to their employees, as management belief is there is a never ending resource so a younger person could be trained to replace you. You will be paid 10 to 30 thousand dollars less then other companies. Global services has many issues and is very dysfunctional, for a professional service organization. People have been moved to other countries to take promotion only to find out when in country they have taken a lesser role , since some one else has that job. Also past employees it took two years to get their expense report taken care of. Small company , so there is very little internal infrastructure to support gs org. No funding for infrastructure, so most back office task are handle by hand , on 4 to 5 different silo of data. Learning on the fly is lip server to the dysfunction of the organization, as the people are sharp to over come.

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.
