Pros

Innovative and creative company with very distinct culture. People and Brand is a key message. Very nice office in Raleigh with plenty of collaboration space, cafeteria, services. Good benefits and work life balance. Lots of opportunity to develop your career and take on new challenges. Cool technology and opportunity to develop

Cons

Some shifts with re-organization that don't make sense and thus good people are let go for no apparent reason.

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.
