      Pros

      OK work-life balance, nice location, cafeteria on-site, parking paid for, quarterly bonuses are nice

      Cons

      Maternity leave could use another look in light of being far behind other leading tech companies. Maternity leave is not included in the pre-interview benefits listing, which forces you to ask an uncomfortable question during the interview process. Fathers get 9 weeks and birthing mothers get just a few more at 12. If you are a man/soon to be father: Red Hat is ahead of the curve and very competitive. If you are a woman/soon to be mother: Red Hat is way behind other tech companies and you might consider your options if you are planning to have children.

      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.
