Pros

Culture - Openness, treating people with respect, possibility to contact any level of management with an opinion / suggestion People - the most talented bunch of folks I have ever worked with, smart, hard working, passionate Open source model - not only in development, but in anything that the company does Great products - products widely used in the industry, setting some of the business standards Stability and prospect of further growth - even if you stay in the same role for a couple of years, the company is growing, which means that each position gains complexity throughout the time

Cons

Hard to say cons, for sure a company not for everyone. You need to be self-driven and motivated in order to do the job

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.
