Pros

There are tons of pros here. Every day I learn something new; every week I have an experience that promotes both my personal professional career and the company as well. I feel like I'm making an impact in the industry, and that my contributions are visible at an individual level. My soul is not being sucked into a corporate machine.

Cons

The only con that I have is the fact that I work from home and don't have access to any offices (there are none nearby,) but that can easily also be viewed as a pro for many. I just need more daily interaction to feel that I am doing my best.

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.
