      Great on the outside, sour on the inside - Technical Support Engineer Red Hat Employee Review

      Pros

      Technical employees are some of the best out there. Work is engaging. Lots of perks to working there.

      Cons

      Salary is dreadfully low. Almost all of management are drones that seem to forget where they came from as soon as they step into the role. The workload is enough for twice the number of employees they have. They hire at a snail's pace, and people leave twice as fast.

      - Good team culture and work-life balance if you have the right management chain - Remote work if you're not close to an office - Leadership transparency and willingness to hear feedback

      Cons

      - Constant re-orgs without strategy are destabilizing - Manager pool is very mixed in terms of experience and skill - Poor role definition can lead to surprises at quarterly review time - Layoffs/reductions have had a chilling effect - Lower salaries compared to competitors
