Pros

Opensource, good proportion of kind people and awesome engineers, stable and non-demanding (if this is your goal).

Cons

Yet all experiences depend on the team. Little salary (less then the amount of work demands), great pushback against hard and proper work with a straightforward goal which logically should be rewarded. The idea of “find yourself something to do” is leading in management heads, while new and fresh ideas are getting generally little support, because of overwhelming pickiness of engineering and no strong management lead.

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.
