Pros

Red Hat is a dynamic and passionate place to work. They invest in their employees and promote from within.

Cons

Recent politics, power plays and dishonest conduct at exec level causing good employees to suffer or leave. HR is aware but seems to turn a blind eye to behavior and the retaliation of accused against reporters

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.
