Pros

Red Hat is a good place for people who care about a supportive culture and work/life balance. The climate isn't particularly aggressive, although like elsewhere aggressive people will be rewarded. Compensation is middle of the road but adequate in return for sane hours and a culture of tolerance and respect.

Cons

Not a good fit for the most ambitious and highest performers.

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.
