Pros

Coming from closed source software companies and very large matrixes organizations, I have been thoroughly happy at Red Hat for almost 3 years now. Red Hat, an open source software company, brings the open source philosophy into the organization across all teams and levels. Open dialogue is COMPLETELY supported, encouraged and almost never penalized. Your ideas are always welcomed with rewards based on Meritocracy. This is very refreshing as a middle line employee.

Cons

Compensation tends to be about 10-20% lower than comparable positions within comparable types or companies.

Pros

Extremely talented and motivated people Great product and ecosystem around Kubernetes

Cons

Bluewashing is real. After 4 years past acquisition it is not Open Decision company anymore. There is no clear communication about the direction where the company goes, some departments were moved to IBM without clear explanation why. Promotion process that was clear before is gone, and now your salary increase or promotion are directly depend on your relationship with the manager and not from your contribution to the team or the product.
