      * Company doesn't really highlight career opportunities * Too many politics * The feeling of becoming a number * Often undervalued and under compensated, pay much less then competition * Can't go to senior management when you have problems with your manager, it's a "my way or the highway" philosophy.

      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.
