Fun activities and good benefits

Cons

Acquired by IBM, so most of the pros will most likely be going away

Pros

Been here for coming up on a year. First six months I thought it was too good to be true. I have excellent management, my team is very competent, work-life balance is taken seriously, remote work is obviously a huge plus. Bonus program is great, benefits are great. The company actually seems to care about associates. I haven't been at a place that felt like this in a long time.

Cons

Internal drama on some mailing lists is sometimes a bit silly. Not really a con, just unsub if it bothers you. Remote work benefits could be slightly better -- no gym or office supplies allowance, etc. The Red Hat offices are awesome, so going remote means you miss out on some cool stuff every now and then, especially t-shirts. Salary is very good, but obviously not competitive with FANG stock grants. No stock options as far as I'm aware. I've heard you don't get yearly raises.
