      Pros

      Red Hat really truly cares about their employees, and making sure that everyone is able to work towards their goals, and even move to different departments if you feel like something is a better fit. I love this job, and consider myself so lucky to be here.

      Cons

      There is nothing bad to say.

          Pros

          Smart people doing the work. Open Source technology. Usually good customers. Some great managers (if you're lucky).

          Cons

          No executive-level leadership at this company anymore, only senior management. Current CEO has no experience leading, despite telling the same repeated story about the importance of good leadership. He spends more effort on appearance and delivering his (vague, confused) message than actually making sound business decisions. Priorities change every 3-6 months, leaving customers hanging out to dry. Consulting has to constantly smooth-over relationships with customers after products are started and dropped a year later. Growing problem of not-in-house mentality for product development. So many failed astroturf attempts to bootstrap open source communities around projects that only matter to Red Hat. Decisionmakers seem to have no accountability for bad decisions. I know cases where significant decisions were made with zero data simply because the decisionmaker didn't want to bother.

        Are case studies/presentations a normal part of interview processes? This is in addition to several interview rounds. These typically take 2 days to do, and require of anywhere from 6-15 slides worth of information, and require deep dives into company product portfolios, use cases, competitive advantages, application to fictitious customer scenario JUST to present. It's exhausting to have to do multiples of these and feels like free labor.

        im beating myself up. I had 3rd interview yesterday. I think all interviews went well, particularly my 2nd one. In this one (and now that I’m thinking about it, this also happened in my first one) I accidentally started answering a question before the interviewer finished the question. When I realized I did this, I immediately stopped and said “im sorry I interrupted you, please continue”. When this happened yesterday, the interviewer stopped to jot something down. Did I cost myself the job??

        I’ve gone through too many interviews now, with some being extremely promising until the 3rd-4th round and I get hit with an email stating: “We’re putting this position on hold to refocus on what we really need from the role” Or something similar. What is going on with these job postings and then freezing the hiring? I can’t be just a Q4 thing because I’ve gone through this over the summer with multiple interviews. Is it me? Or is the market really that right for everyone right now?
