      Pros

      Strongly collaborative, Open Source mindset. Great technologies with enthusiastic communities behind them. Solid culture of remote work, plenty of opportunities for working remote. Very good work/life balance (depends on your manager of course). Job mobility within the company is encouraged and pretty easy. Top-notch technical training is free for employees. Depending on what you do, you get to create a new job for yourself.

      Cons

      Middle management in Latin America has not understood the Open Source culture yet. Pay used to be good, now it's average at most. Office perks not like those you see at startups.

      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.
