Pros

* Everybody is nice * Everybody is very knowledgeable and tech savvy, there's a lot to learn and a lot of room to progress and gain knowledge * passion for technology * Very welcoming atmosphere, they want the employee to improve at any way and at any path he chooses

Cons

* Relative to the market, average pay or less * Not sure if it's a con, but older average age * As a result from previous point, I got the feeling of lack of ambition from most people, they just want the relaxed job security.

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.
