Pros

Some of the smartest people I have ever worked with, and most of them are nice as well. I think virtually everyone at Red Hat that holds a technical job is there because they believe in the open source models.

Cons

Some managers are very out of touch. Sometimes it is hard to get things done because of so many strong opinions.

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.
