Pros

WHEN I JOINED: A great company with a well-respected CEO, a clear focus and a collaborative global team.

Cons

WHEN I LEFT: An IBM drone in charge with no clear idea other than needing us all to "follow the North Star" - what does that even mean? IBM clawing more and more products, entire teams made redundant, a revolving door of senior execs, and trusted, experienced and well-respected Sales managers being dumped on from a great height and all jumping ship.

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.
