Pros

I deeply respect how our leadership has fought to preserve Red Hat’s unique culture even after the IBM acquisition. However, since 2025, we’ve seen an acceleration in the integration of back-office functions into IBM. As this process scales, I feel that Red Hat is gradually losing some of its standalone agility and independence. That said, Red Hat’s 'Open Source Leadership' remains a dominant force in the market, and I believe its growth will only accelerate in the AI era.

Cons

Red Hat is gradually losing its unique culture and its standalone strength.

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.
