Good collaboration (2) Software decisions are documented - often asked for inputs and feedback (3) Recent projects like Ansible etc make it a very exciting growth opportunity (4) Regular technology sessions and meetups on Red Hat technologies and OpenStack (5) Good team meetings

Cons

(1) Salary cycle and increases are unpredictable (2) Too much information is available and making sense is almost impossible (3) Would like to have more frequent discussions with HR and team (4) Site provides not enough facilities in terms of relaxation (5) Senior developers play favorites - that is known to everyone but no one says anything

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.
