Pros

Red Hat is a fantastic place to work.During the pandemic, Red Hat implemented a number of support options, gave everyone a "Recharge Day" once per quarter, and from the start we have been assured that our liveliohoods and home life takes priority. This is really reassuring, and is consistent with Red Hat's ethics and underlying values. There are endless opportunities to grow within the company, with every associate having a people manager to help us achieve our goals. We are not told what we should do too often, but they try their best to facilitate our needs and desires. The fact that the projects we deliver are open source is really satisfying also.

Cons

Lots of projects never make it to a customer, which can be disheartening. There are missed opportunities which do not have get the backing of Red Hat.

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.
