Pros

-Most managers are very flexible around working hours, if your position has that luxury -Good benefits -Fast paced environment can challenge you to grow

Cons

-Lack of strong leadership -Chaotic planning and execution of corporate changes -Fellow employees can be really rude, a culture that was created internally long ago through the notion of a "meritocracy" and all ideas are great to share. This often came in the form of openly criticizing colleagues.

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.
