      Able to move to any job in the company Generally RH is based on Meriticracy Able to make your role what you want to achieve the best value for the company

      Cons

      Very little job direction sometimes, this also means you have the freedom to create your role the way you want. Leadership doesn't always listen to the troops doing the job Your manager is very rarely there to help you with direction or your job

      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.
