Pros

Great opportunities to contribute to open source. Open source/free software is in their DNA. You are not just writing code, you are collaborating with the best in the world and making the world a better place. Fair compensation. Accomplishments are recognized and rewarded. Sane work hours. Management that has a technical background and works with you. Little to no office politics.

Cons

Many departments are silos.

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.
