      A slippery slope

      Solutions architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall, still more freedom to be creative and take risks than a lot of other places. Competitive pay. Pretty good work-life balance, depending on the manager.

      Cons

      Yearly or even more often reorgs are destabilizing and demoralizing. Promotions and raises increasingly difficult to come by. Erosion of the open, egalitarian culture. Management is less interested in feedback from boots on the ground and isn't afraid to let you know. Percentage of women in tech sales is dramatically lower than even industry average, which is already poor.

      Good company, but IBMification is creeping in

      Partner sales executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - pay - surrounded by smart people - excellent PTO and year end recharge - great work/life balance

      Cons

      - Maternity leave got worse for any woman in sales in 2025. Basically you aren't paid on any deals that close after 90 days of leave (12 weeks), but your quota isn't decreased. So the last 6 weeks of leave you just take a huge L for your yearly quota. - The old Red Hat egalitarian culture is something of the past. Many leaders come from IBM and have a more old school approach. - Non-performance based layoffs have become more and more common.
