Pros

Good culture and growing company. Energetic and fun quarterly meetings!!

Cons

Several managers operate their department depending on their own personality traits. There is a known lack of professionalism on how they should motivate and train their employees. One manager consistently roams up and down the isles micro managing causing employee wagers on how often she will interrupt them daily. Another one would repeat confidential conversations with her subordinates for merely office gossip, causing tension within the workplace on how to respond/react. Drama galore!

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.
