Pros

Engineers are very bright and very dedicated. Really fun to work with them. Sales and Marketing are above average. Administrative staff are fine.

Cons

A lot of work. Product lines are expanding and people are not being hired fast enough. While Red Hat has become a big company but internal processes and procedures are more geared to a small company. It is nice for a large company to try to be nimble and agile like a small company but it is not possible.

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.
