Pros

Working with intelligent people, free La Croix, copious resources, lots of autonomy and (in my case) no micromanaging manager. Office is cool and the passion and loyalty of its employees makes you excited to be a part of the team.

Cons

Not a great place if you're young in your career and you look for more guidance and support. In my case, manager was never present and was too busy (and possibly inexperienced) to solve major interpersonal issues. Paid very little (under area average) for the extraordinary amount of work I put in. Many employees take advantage of RH's open culture to just be plain horrible to their coworkers. Also 0 work life balance leads to immediate burnout.

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.
