Red Hat reviews

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.

Quota's go up on average 75% to 100% a year, 73% of company revenue comes from the operating system because there is no sales training (or deep dive competitive information on the sales portal) on the middleware stack and other solutions which would enable sales people to cross sell effectively and overachieve quota. Linux has become mature and this company needs to become more competitive with their other solutions. Management is inept - incredibly so. They are tactically focused on the weekly forecast call, lots of politics and there is an "old boys mentality" - if you're not one of the "boys" you have accounts taken away from you and the management simply doesn't support you when you need them. BTW - this is an engineering company - I've been in a meeting where an senior solutions architect stated in front of a room of sales guys that the sales guys are "slime that oozes from under rocks". I was with RH for quite a few years - these are not first impression observations
