Pros

Get a chance to work with interesting open source software. Some fantastically smart people to work with.

Cons

Very much a boys club. Can easily get boxed into a particular role. No room for growth. Lack of proper guidence and management. Information and company decisions heavily filtered. Some knowledge hiding.

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.
