Pros

Opportunities to learn and work with open source solutions across the full stack. Ability to "build a brand" for yourself if you can get connected with the right groups and individuals early on. Company historically has a good reputation within the technical community which helps add weight and credibility to your own interactions and work.

Cons

Salaries lower, not in line with market. Remote workers - though necessary - are often isolated. IBM acquisition uncertainty.

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.
