      Great place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Open source culture, lots of technologies to learn, people tend to be open minded. Work with cutting-edge tech. Company also gives you a lot of autonomy to steer your own projects (open source culture). As an engineer I could pick my own tools a lot of the time.

      Cons

      Red Hat has become large enough such that we have several bad groups. I have heard bad things about consulting for instance. Red Hat has a tendency to underpay in certain positions including engineering and consulting.

      Great Company for Consultants

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Red Hat helps develop skills of consultants, sending them to trainings as much as they request - In 5 years I haven't heard of anyone being let go from being on the bench - Consulting org is very supportive if you want to remove yourself from a project, but it will take time - Wages aren't FAANG level but pretty good

      Cons

      - Standard consulting woes: clients who have been lied to by sales people, no commission-sharing, lots of traveling with some weeks not know where you'll go next week - Red Hat has been trying to break into consulting for big corporations for several years, so some projects are very high pressure as there will be tens of millions of dollars worth of contracts for the company (and about a $1M USD commission for the salesperson) - Expected to "give back" to make 100% of your bonus, which can be an extra 5 hours a week of work
