Pros
Great coworkers! Red Hat is growing fast and is a dynamic working environment full of smart, collaborative people who care about their work and are passionate about open source software. The company provides ample opportunities for growth so from a career development perspective, it is a great place to work. Management clearly cares about preserving and promoting Red Hat culture post-IBM acquisition and I feel positive about the future of the company.
Cons
One major pain point at Red Hat is the parental leave policy. It is far behind other tech companies for parental leave. Birth moms get 12 weeks paid leave, which is much less than many of the comparable big tech companies offer, over 50% less in many cases. Non-birth parents get 9 weeks paid leave.
