Pros

Red Hat's work environment is best. Red Hat facilities are also good. Packages is good initially. Colleagues are very helpful.

Cons

Packages increment is low. Due to shifts and weekend support its difficult to maintain a good work -life balance. India People management is not very good. But not that bad as well.

Pros

Fun/upbeat office environments, company events, encouragement for employees to collaborate and grow.

Cons

Work/life balance. Expectation to be "on call" 24/7, but not paid accordingly. When employees leave, management talks poorly of them. "Open" culture is praised, but only if you agree with upper management and "drink the Kool-Aid." Turnover is high, and they blame it on "not being a good culture fit."

Used to be a great company but quickly going downhill.

Pros

Culture is relaxed. Team bonds are close. Great financial position as a company. Takes an act of God to fire anyone so job stability is there.

Cons

Low pay. Lack of appreciation for hard work. Politics. Terrible leadership in key functions. Takes an act of God to terminate poor performers so overall productivity has gone down over years.
