Red Hat reviews

My Con's are focused on the way sales is treated. In 2020 Redhat rolled out a new Varicent sales comp tool for viewing compensation and expected commissions. Now in 2024 this great varicent "anti-sales" tool still does not show any actual commission until the 48 hrs prior to release at best. The entire comp team should be terminated effective immediately. How many more years do they need ??? How about another 4 yrs, LOL. Also in 2024 the under current of anger by sales teams for the sales exec leadership is fairly high. The CFO and exec sales leaders have over shot on quota's so high for the avg sales person regardless of commercial or enterprise account coverage. Example, an annual sales quota is 110% to 150% + over any existing annual run rate or ACV business. The CFO is so heavy handed and such a miser, and cares less about sales teams selling. To this point, there are approx. 5 doc to explain the compensation sales plan ( on how they won't pay you ) ! Here is the gift or incentive from the CFO office. Between 31% - 69% of sales attainment you get paid absolutely "zero" commission of your associated sales or deals closed. It gets better. Considering 65%+ of redhat revenue is backend loaded into December, that means any closed in Q4/December, you won't see a dime of it, assuming they even get it right till April !!-( They used to say, Enterprise Software sales is like prize fighting, but were did the prize go ? It's not in varicent.

Short-sighted Management: "Management would benefit from demonstrating a stronger understanding of the core business in its decision-making process. This could involve increased communication with frontline teams to gain deeper insights." Slow Pay Increases: "Internal promotions and pay increases could be streamlined to better reward top talent and foster employee retention." Shifting Culture: "There's an opportunity to maintain the unique company culture during the transition with the parent company. This could mean prioritizing initiatives to retain those qualities most valued by employees." Lack of Diversity: "There's room for improvement in promoting greater diversity within management. This would lead to richer perspectives and decision-making, ultimately benefiting the company."
