Pros

Learned a great deal from the tech-savvy community. The leadership believes in transparency and for the most part delivers. Office environment is very modern in an awesome location. Company has good relationships with its corporate partners and is well-respected with its customers.

Cons

Still figuring out how to promote reward individual contributors on development teams. Sometimes struggle in getting rid of dead weight. There is a notion that people can transfer around the company, but this turns out to be very difficult and a lengthy process.

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.
