Pros

There isn't really anyone out there doing what Red Hat does so if you're technical and get in to the technology or enjoy helping customers advance their missions with best of bread technology, Red Hat is solid.

Cons

Going on two years of quotas that aren't based on reality. You can't take an account that took 5 years to build and double it in 1 year as an example. This year because quotas are so high, there aren't sales funnels to support it so new oversight policies are in place that look to be only there to permit terminations without question. Back office processes are so broken some people have had paychecks not issued and it takes weeks to get benefits questions answered or issues resolved. It's really sad to see how far Red Hat has fallen.

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.
