Pros

Innovation happens at Red Hat. It is one of the most successful and fast-growing software companies in the world. If you like transparency, direct and open communication, flat hierarchies, best ideas being rewarded, then Red Hat is the place to be at.

Cons

Fast growth means fast pace. Fast pace means that you will struggle balancing life and work if you are not experienced in prioritizing your work and saying no.

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.
