Pros

A lot of talented people work(ed) here and you can learn a lot from them and work on career-defining projects. Some amazing DEI efforts coming from individuals (not the company as a whole).

Cons

Does not live up to its values. Majority of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts come from uncompensated labor of marginalized employees. Leadership is not diverse and is most often promoted from within and lacking the resume and skill set required of the role they move into. Underpays for any nontechnical roles compared to the industry.

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.
