Pros

Having Red Hat on your job resume.

Cons

The management especially within IT are so out of touch with their employees. They pretend to care about development with things like "Compass", but nothing ever comes from it. In fact, the managers just push through it for HR. Expect to keep the pay you get when you first start. There aren't a lot of opportunities for advancement and most of IT will throw you under the bus to make themselves look better. The CEO is also out of touch.

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.
