Red Hat reviews

However, "open ideas" are often vague and not targeted where they can do the most good. They often felt like they were just tossed to the wind, where a few interested advocates would tear them apart. Then they would die and be reborn several months later. Very little closure. I actually found teams to be more closed than other organizations I have worked with. My feeling is that emphasis on openness and meritocracy chokes out ideas that are specific and well-founded, but not quite baked. Less assertive team members are effectively silenced by others clamoring for attention. Daily incentives are heavily biased toward individuals and there is very little alignment or teamwork.

-Siloed departments due to executive level organization (sales&marketing, product&services, IT&finance&ops) causing duplication in processes and goal conflicts. -Disconnect between executives and employees -Emphasis on projects execution, but little focus on long term control and monitoring -Management reorganization every 16-18 months -1st line managers with poor skills (ie lack leadership skills) -Work not always recognized: promotion and advancement depends on who you know and your visibility in department rather than how hard you work. -No clear path to career advancement: 1st level managers promise future advancement opportunities and/or salary increases but don't follow through. - Easy to get burned out in hopes of improving your visibility to attain elusive career advancement
