Pros

- Wonderful environment where your coworkers actually listen to you! - Freedom to shape your career into what you want it to be. - Quarterly bonuses are fantastic.. - Intelligent, collaborative, and fun coworkers. - Fantastic work/life balance. - People say thank you. I feel appreciated.

Cons

I love Red Hat, but it's not for everyone. The freedom to say what you think and be heard means that Red Hat can be chaotic and difficult. Sometimes, it's hard to move forward because everyone has an opinion. Still, I wouldn't work anywhere else. Some of the managers are young and inexperienced, so you may have to be patient with them. They seem to be open to learning and growing though.

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.
