Pros

I had a great manager who practiced the open management culture when I was an account executive.

Cons

The PSE role was sold to me as the best role to develop with at Red Hat. I had a successful Account Executive for 2 years at Red Hat. They said the Account Executive role would soon be phased out. So I accepted the PSE role. There was a poor structure and everyone argued about what my role should be. The margin for our partners was low so they had no interest in working with us. Uncomfortable levels of drinking , men acting like predators around women, territorial behaviors by other women towards women, bullying, and in house promotions due to who you were friends with not based on merit. Poor back office processes. Some team members abusing the good culture at Red Hat and not working at all during company time. It’s a shame as Red Hat had a fantastic culture when Jim Whitehurst was CEO.

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.
