      Pros

      You get to work with a lot of great, enthusiastic, and passionate people. Red Hat also offers some of the best benefits of any company in the Triangle

      Cons

      Sometimes it feels like a boys club. I am on the only female reporting to my Director. I often feel left out of the conversation or overlooked, while my male colleagues appear to have a different experience.

      Pros

      Seemed like a great company overall, except for the existence of the team that I was on being a huge mark against them

      Cons

      - Team constantly informed me that they had no time for me and I was on my own as a new employee dealing with customers - Asked me to show something off to customers that didn't work, blamed me even though it was shown to not work - Ignored reports of bugs and security holes that affected customers - Ignored customer complaints - Violated policies when it favored my boss and asked me to keep quiet about it - Stuck to policies when it was in boss' favor to do so - Boss' bad ideas were no longer his if something went wrong

      Some parts of Red Hat need a lot of work still

      Pros

      Great internal branding. The "Open Organization" ideals sounds fantastic.

      Cons

      Not all areas of Red Hat have embraced the Open Org ideals equally well. I was in a senior technical role (not my first rodeo). I found multiple barriers to collaboration (amazing!) including silos and protectionism. Advice to job seekers: Look carefully before you leap and trust your gut. Ask difficult questions. If it doesn't smell right, walk away. Possibly consider a different organization within RH.
