Pros
People are nice, smart, and collaborative. I loved my co-workers and would recommend them to any role in any other company.
Cons
Everyone in Red Hat is duplicating some one else's work elsewhere in the company. - super weak leadership team - C-Suite has been at same company for the last 20 years so imagine the level of innovation (none) - CMO has been there forever ( what new practices can such a person bring to the table/ innovation zero) - Products are expensive and over engineered. No simplicity anywhere. - No growth for female execs or leaders - look at the C-Suite. All white men. - Company growth is stalling so all open roles are posted at a grade below with smaller salaries. For ex. You will be expected to do grade 5 work but with grade 4 pay. - No more upward mobility with layer of middle management all removed. So if you are an IC - chances of promotion into manager virtually zero. - If you are a manager - chances of moving up also zero. - Marketing is shrinking, only growth is in engineering. - All the teams are siloed and leaders hate each other so there is no comprehensive portfolio story to tell. - if you really truly are desperate for a job - then go for it. Otherwise I'd look at high growth companies that are better run. -Everyone who is currently in Red Hat is staying there because the market is rough.
