Pros

- Will get to learn a lot in a very less period of time. - Get to know best minds around you and will get to learn a lot from them. - Salary is transparent. You get all the components mentioned in your CTC unlike project based companies like TCS, Wipro, Infosys where they slash huge amount from your CTC.

Cons

- Management performing a lot of experiments with their policies with mere hit-and-trial method. - Management is more bothered about the figures and reports rather than the technical growth of the employees. - They are not able to hire resources with requisite skills as it would need them to spend more money. - Salary structure is not appropriate and not competent to the market. And that is the reason good minds are leaving the organization. - Employees are asked to work on Public holidays. Working on a public holiday is paid but still it is by force, not by choice. - Micro management - Some of the people getting promoted on the basis of number of years spent in the organization, even though they are not suitable for that appropriate role. - Very less or negligible managers with technical skills.

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.
