Pros

• Unique culture focused on meritocracy • Overall the people Red Hat hires are outstanding • Great Benefits • Vacation policy is generous for new employees • A lot of growth potential • Jim Whitehurst

Cons

• Sales org isn't tied to the culture like the rest of the company is (could be a pro for some) • Working as an HR recruiter is very brutal from what I've seen, wouldn't reccomend going into that part of the company. • A lot of growing pains from increasing the workforce so fast.

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.
