      Must stay away from Quality Engineering teams

      Pros

      There is no point working as QE All the cutting edge technology work is mainly for developers.

      Cons

      - a lot of unconscious bias. - If you are on visa in USA, you must stay away. Though at company level they claim their immigrant program is good, QE management is very incompetent and will put your visa status in danger.

      Pros

      I have never worked anywhere where I feel as much like myself as I do here at Red Hat. The culture is what it says it is. There is no lip service and where there is a lack of transparency or any hint of insincerity, it gets called out. Leadership expects it. People say what they mean and are free to disagree. I feel valued for my opinion, even when it turns out to not be the best way. People are encouraged to find their own path. I have only been here for a little over a year but have already seen a new job be created for someone because that was the direction she was naturally interested in and there was a need. I myself was promoted after only 7 months. Red Hat truly cares about their people. Also, people here are really smart! I don't recall ever working anywhere with so many intelligent and reasonable people. It's truly a joy to be around so many people who are good at what they do.

      Cons

      Let's be honest - all this openness does not result in fast decisions. Fast decisions are made where needed (read: COVID) but in an open organization, where multiple viewpoints are solicited, it naturally takes longer. It can be frustrating. Ultimately it results in a better decision but takes some getting used to.
