      Pros

      Work/life balance is great, most managers are flexible and completely remote role The people are great, open and collaborative

      Cons

      The leadership is not headed in the right direction. lots of secret layoffs happening due to lack of planning and leadership. Most executives are either IBM or Red Hatters that have been falsely promoted into leadership roles due to their Red Hat tenure. The culture is becoming more and more a dictatorship from IBM and lots of blue influence. Proceed working here with caution, i would be very concerned about your job security at this company.

      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.
