Pros

First of all, it's great to work in open source. Besides that, dev employees usually work remotely, which gives them much freedom. For sure you need discipline, but being allowed to work when and where you want effectively improves productivity (for the company) and satisfaction (of the employee).

Cons

If you work remotely, you need to get used to the way of effectively synchronizing with colleagues, meetings on the phone / hangout / skype. You might end up having your manager in a different timezone and meet him/her in person after years, etc.

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.
