Pros

Products are fantastic Most of the people are great, competent, skilled Flexible schedule Work from home

Cons

IBM is taking over Management no longer cares about their people - they are cutting costs (to meet shareholder pressure) by making working there unbearable (so not laying off per say), but there are no salary increases, everything is scrutinized People are just numbers now that need to be reduced Morale is at an all time low Trust issues with management

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.
