      Great company but the culture is overrated

      Pros

      The energy, enthusiasm and excitement at Red Hat are contagious. Working here is a lot of fun. There is a new vibe at the company since Frank Calderoni joined, and it's because he is challenging the status quo. I am proud to be a Red Hatter, and I am grateful we are seeing strong leaders in this company.

      Cons

      The open culture is exploited by those who use it to complain, to be negative and who don't want to change. People managers need better training as they don't know what they are doing with this change.

      Pros

      Work is good , but the culture makes it feel so miserable . Opp to travel abroad is there ......

      Cons

      The generalist hr team at red hat Mumbai is just so u helpful , just can't understand the work they do . I see them coming at 11:30 am everyday gossiping and discussing about their kids then leaving office at 5pm. Even a small task of issuing letter of address proof or for visa purpose takes so many days . The whole culture has become so unhealthy and political . They are heavily biast and just go with what the new md of India sales say . They just talk bad about anyone and everyone in the office . If you approach them with a problem they give such bad looks and for days they Wil treat you as an estranged employee .

      Pros

      Red Hat has a huge opportunity in front of it. It has a diverse portfolio of products to help define the future of IT.

      Cons

      Red Hat's culture is changing with recent new leadership. While the overall mantra of what needs to happen is correct the way it is happening is not in true Red Hat fashion.
