Pros

Working on cutting-edge technology, unique company culture, high respect and freedom to developers

Cons

Well, sometimes not easy to understand what is the process to follow or how to do a task. A bit hard at the beginning. This is strictly related to the freedom left. Anyway, people ready to help, bureaucracy is not enforced at all. Not that bad after all.

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.
