Pay was OK. Work from home

Since it's been bought by IBM they are no longer an open source company and they have a very toxic working environment. The managers are corporate and sharing is no longer caring The bonuses have also been diminishing and RSUs are none existing

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.
