      Not the same company I joined

      Pros

      Cutting-edge technology, there are some great people

      Cons

      When the current Chief People Officer joined Red Hat, the company changed. She brought her chosen few from Cisco who do not understand what Red Hat is and the culture that has existed for over 20 years. While I understand the need to scale, these individuals from Cisco have ruined the company I grew to love. There is no more open culture, the people in leadership roles have not taken the training such as "Right for Red Hat" that is made to exemplify open culture and what it means to be a Red Hatter. Under current leadership, the great culture of Red Hat will continue to be absorbed into IBM until Red Hat is unidentifiable and an even uglier culture than it is today.

      Pros

      Good benefits, good pay, good career growth

      Cons

      If you like working on a team, you won't like working here. For bragging about being open and collaborative, this place is the most isolating work environment I've ever been apart of. It is all lip service. Few employees actually like helping or sharing, they just feel obligated to and you can feel it.

      Working here is a mixed bag

      Pros

      Salary and benefits are good but not a lot else.

      Cons

      Politics are getting quite bad. Especially as the old guard is getting ready to exit and the upcoming crew starts jockeying for position and stabbing each other in the back. If you're low enough on the food chain to avoid this great, otherwise watch your back. They talk about openness and meritocracy but don't actually practice it no matter how much they preach it.
