Red Hat reviews

can get stuck in tech support if you are not careful, quite possible that you may never move out of support so join in engineering if you want a dev job

Sales management as a whole is uninspiring, very much status quo driven, and unable to develop people internally. Turnorver is quickly becoming an issue because of this, being there are plenty of opportunities out there. The Open Organization is a complete sham, that book has zero to do with how things actually work day in and day out at Red Hat. Meritocracy is great in theory but is just not practiced, that is such a shame. At Red Hat it's not what you know, but really who you know, especially sales management! If you think hard work gets you to the top, think again. Complaining and being seen as a possible HR threat will get you promoted faster than anything. The systems used internally make selling enterprise software much harder than other IT organizations. What employees have to access it so far outdated and siloed that noone can keep up with what's going on. Priorities of the company are simple: appease stockholders and that's about it.
