Going down the pan rapidly
Pros
Very little to recommend about Red Hat. It was a good company, but not anymore. And don't be fooled by the EOQ results they posted on LinkedIn. It's only half the story.
Cons
It *was* a good company, but since the acquisition by IBM, it got worse and worse. Goal-posts change, roles adapt so as to be unrecognizable to the role you originally signed-up for, targets change, revolving-door managers, no clear direction. I wager that Red Hat will not exist as a unique entity within 10 years if not less. CEO is not a leader of people. People get promoted with no recognizable skills or ability, other than they're "Yes Men' or "Yes Women." More redundancies are in the offing I have been told by a senior manager still employed (for now) at Red Hat. They have no idea about how to handle people and the last round of redundancies (not that Red Hat ever use that word...roles are "sun-setted"!!?) was handled with zero ability or empathy. Avoid if you can but if you've taken a new role there, good luck.
