Pros

There is still a fair amount of focus on F/LOSS involvement and unstream contributions.

Cons

Management is becoming focused on quarterly results, and losing focus on the philosophical differences that made Red Hat an innovator, a leader, and a success to date.

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.
