Pros

Red Hat is special in the software industry because its business model based in open source development. Its approach to customers and its messages to the market are very interesting from the point of view of a sales representative.

Cons

Typical downsides of any software start-up company. In may case, the main pain, is my country manager given his lack of participation with the sales activity and his lack of plans for the long-term.

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.
