      Don't be fooled by "inclusion & diversity" taglines

      Pros

      Some great people, excellent technology.

      Cons

      Old boys club, very few women in management and they are treated VERY poorly. One Senior Director had 5 formal complaints against him and is still employed. I was told by HR that unless you submit a written complaint, they take zero action against complaints lodged by phone, other than "speaking with" the subject of the complaint.

      Some good folks but cancerous culture

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent technology built by community. Low cost provider. Grass roots folks are good people but many mangers are unethical to extreme

      Cons

      Culture is not inclusive. Red Hatters think everyone (customers, competitors and community contributors) are all stupid and only Red Hat employees have a clue. Red Hat packages the work of others and sells it as if they are experts but support and consulting is poor

      Unethical Practices

      Pros

      High pay, good benefits, beautiful work environment, as the first to enter the niche open source market, they are well positioned in the market.

      Cons

      Incredibly hypocritical. “Open” culture is a branding gimmick, nothing more. They are not transparent about their policies and management decisions. Outside the legal department, ethics are not important. The legal department has very little leverage. HR will not accommodate certain types of disabilities, which is illegal and completely discriminatory. Don’t believe the hype, and if you do accept an offer, don’t drink the koolaid.
