Red Hat reviews

- promos/raise windows are open less frequently per year than in the past - salary ranges are reevaluated once a year, but that doesn't mean your salary will be adjusted, you just go down further in the segments, leading to an unsustainable deficit - some managers are micromanagement and do not trust their reportees, this means those folks must document times away from desk, or on customer calls, to prove they're doing their job - frequent management changes - lower level management has no power to actually facilitate your success or vouch for your promos and raises, they're governed by too much red tape and are simply there to listen to you vent - responsibilities grow over time, they now expect us to cover roles that were laid off when we already have a full plate of work

They are riding on their previous reputation of being the open source cool kid - their salaries have typically reflected that everyone wants to work for the premier open source software company. Post-IBM acquisition, things are slowly starting to change, like they did when Starbucks bought the local coffee shop I worked at in college.
