Pros

Compensation is good. Respect of the company is positive. Industry leading technology in several areas.

Cons

IBM making changes to corporate culture. RH employees being eliminated in favor of their IBM counterparts. I suspect this will happen to other acquisitions like Hashicorp. Customers do not like IBM sales teams as much as RH sales teams. IBM sales teams not as familiar with RH software and technology as RH employees.

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.
