      Bad for women in storage sales, harassment

      Enterprise account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Teammates were great, made good friends over my five year career in sales. Company still gives out RSUs which is an added bonus.

      Cons

      Male dominated environment in emerging product sales (storage, cloud, middleware). About 50 people within emerging product sales team; only a handful of women. Executive made numerous inappropriate comments to women directly, and relating to women in general. Red Hat is aware but has not done anything to prevent the hostile work environment for women on this team.

      Work environment is beyond toxic

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company product and mission is solid (with the exception of the JBoss side of the company).

      Cons

      The products from the JBoss group are terrible as are the people who work there. I witnessed people screaming obscenities at each other in meetings, flaming each other over email in front of management and peers, and just general playground bully behavior that would result in termination at any other company. Oddly, the CEO recently discussed this culture in an article as if it were a positive. I can assure you that being insulted and degraded on a daily basis isn't cute, or clever, or tolerable. I and most of the people I on-boarded with lasted no more than a year.

      Very clickish unprofessional and disappointing environment

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It says a lot when the only Pro I can come up with is free snacks. The pay can be generous albeit short lived.

      Cons

      Management is able to go rouge. No polices in place to protect employees from a bad manager. Take "Right to Work State" too literally with no respect for employee well being. People tend to "disapper" not a positive work environment.
