      Pros

      Smart people - wonderful colleagues

      Cons

      The company has gone downhill since the IBM acquisition, specifically after the original executive team left. Red Hat is now just a “business unit”. They’re not even pretending to hold RHT apart as a separate company anymore. The only goal is to generate as much profit for IBM as possible. All of the thought and industry leadership that Red Hat provided for the open source community is gone. Red Hat is a dying culture. It’s sad to watch.

      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.
