      Pros

      Red Hat allows you to work on anything you are passionate about with complete freedom. If you are passionate about opensource, this is the place. There are lot of smart people, from whom you will learn a lot. The best part is, you will get to be part of some opensource community officially, meet more awesome people from the community regularly interact with them and work with them during your office hours.

      Cons

      Compensation is bit less compared to competitors, but if you enjoy your work, that matters less.

      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.
