Pros

Fast-paced, challenging and high growth culture. Compensation is at market rates when you join (depending on YOE @ Red Hat, you may find yourself falling below fair market rates for the role).

Cons

Sink or swim approach to onboarding. Roles are unfocused and responsibility is broad so can get spread thin while covering the entire product portfolio. Compensation is at market rates (depending on YOE @ Red Hat, you may find yourself falling below fair market rates for the role). Slow and limited career progression -- must jump through hoops and bend over backwards simultaneously in order to be promoted. As a minority, DEI is just an acronym that gets touted on company broadcasts.
