      Pros

      Good co-workers. Somewhat competitive compensation.High level of talent among developers and engineers. Active and engaged CEO.

      Cons

      Pro-open source and meritocracy more a marketing stunt than how projects are run and how people are recognized. Lots of politics especially among projects and business units. Lack of CTO means no long term strategic decision.

      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.
