Pros

Enjoyed working some of the talented colleagues in Redhat and community. If you are working in Redhat you will always be learning emerging technologies.

Cons

"Transparency" which is an integral part of opensource culture which is fading away. The management invests lot of money in procuring commercialized product rather than revamping the existing in-house tools. The people who put efforts for the redhat success doesnt get any appreciation where as the people who are involved in the sustained coaxing or flattery is succeeding in their career.

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.
