Red Hat reviews

Not a sales-oriented culture. More engineering-focus. Comp for Sales is typically lower than average. Cost cuts everywhere. Great CEO. Lack of turnover of mid-management, atypical of many tech companies. Sort of inbred, primarily for old stack grants and incentives and so on. Limits freash approaches. Little consideration for outside/competitive input and adaptability. Inability to attract top Sales talent. Onboarding process is brutally poor.Top Sales leadership is uninspiring. Would not recommend Red Hat to other salesperson, without more emphasis on Sales, comp, etc.

Unless you are a Director or above, you will be carrying out others' decisions - not making them. Not even having any meaningful input. Red Hat preaches against disengagement, while almost actively fostering it. Opinions are best kept to oneself. And, make no mistake, politics are very important at Red Hat. Also, the software is difficult to make work, due to inadequate user interfaces. And, support is spotty - despite this being Red Hat's main claim to fame. The training department continues to cling to the notion that memorizing for tests is a good thing, despite lots of research in the field of education that bears out what we all know - it is temporary. And, outsourcing the training department has made it almost irrelevant.
