Pros

Open source culture, lots of technologies to learn, people tend to be open minded. Work with cutting-edge tech. Company also gives you a lot of autonomy to steer your own projects (open source culture). As an engineer I could pick my own tools a lot of the time.

Cons

Red Hat has become large enough such that we have several bad groups. I have heard bad things about consulting for instance. Red Hat has a tendency to underpay in certain positions including engineering and consulting.

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.
