Pros

Red Hat provides autonomy and a very flexible work environment. You end up being exposed to a lot of customers with different needs resulting in learning a great deal. The organization is quite lean and you don't find a lot of higher-ups who don't have on-the-ground experience.

Cons

Red Hat is still a growth company in certain divisions which provides for a lot of opportunity, but comes with challenges in breaking through with customers.

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.
