      Red Hat Services

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Diversity of work and exposure to open source products in many verticals. See how real customers struggle to integrate and implement what marketing and sales make seem "easy".

      Cons

      Consultant corporate culture more concerned with title, whining, and CYA. Probably one of the worse culture types where on the surface "one team", behind the scenes all risk management and blame gaming. In an environment where it's already difficult to deliver under optimal conditions you cannot trust your peers or managers here. No bueno. Oh yes, and the solutions are often not very well thought out.

      A wonderful learning experience

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very open and you can learn a lot and work your way up if you are determined and hard working.

      Cons

      There can be a lot of bickering inside the company, especially between sales and support, but if you just ignore that and work hard it won't really affect you.

      Great place to work BUT senior management gets in the way of progress.

      Senior marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Culture drives proactive, results-driven behavior. Focus on independent actions and individual accountability. Reasonably flexible work environment.

      Cons

      Need fresh blood esp in management. "Old Guard" is suffocating and has lead to nepotism. Change is slow coming and hard won. For a still small-ish company, compared to competitors like Oracle, MSFT, and IBM, the politics are astounding. Poor, ineffective managers are allowed to continue in their rolls without being replaced or re-trained.
