      Pros

      Lots of talented coders, high standards for developers

      Cons

      I have no autonomy; every decision is made for me. People don’t want to listen to ideas or opinions. The testing frameworks are closed-source and nobody knows why; if you ask why, then people get mad at you.

      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.
